Volcanoes

 

Did you have fun having your volcano explode?  I'm saving my volcano so that I can experiment with it some more.  I want to try some other baking soda and vinegar combinations to see if I can get even bigger explosions!  It is pretty cool that you start with a solid and a liquid and when these two substances are mixed you get a gas.  Can you believe how light the piece of lava (pumice) is that I sent you?  In a later kit on crystals I am going to send you a geode.  Geodes are formed in lava and when you break them open you see very cool crystals.  Check out the links below for more information on volcanoes!
