Volcano Project

In Science, we are asked to make a replica of the volcano we choose. Our group decided to replicate Mount Fuji, we tried our best to make it look like Mount Fuji but it's not quite the same as the volcano.

 Aim: 
To make the volcano erupt using vinegar and baking soda.

Hypothesis:
I think to make a better reaction from the volcano, the ratio of vinegar and baking soda should be in a good amount.

 

Equipment: 
To make a volcano we used cardboard, newspaper, glue, an empty milk jug.

To get a better chemical reaction we used vinegar, bicarbonate soda, dish soap, cold water and food colouring

Method:

How to make the volcano?

1.Put the empty milk jug in the middle of the cardboard and surround the jug with a crumpled newspaper.

2. Stick the newspaper with the glue that has a little bit of water.

3. After the newspaper dried, we painted the mountain with brown and the cardboard dark green.

4. Once the brown paint dried, we painted the top of whit to represent as snow. 

How to make a chemical reaction?

 1. Combine the vinegar, water, dish soap and 2 drops of food colouring into the empty soda bottle.
2. Use a spoon to mix the baking soda slurry until it is all a liquid.
 7. Pour the baking soda slurry into the soda bottle quickly and step back!
