<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cIt looks like a fire river\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWow! It explodes like fireworks!\u201d<\/p>\n
We learned some fascinating facts during our learning.<\/p>\n
We now know that volcanoes can be active,dormant or extinct.<\/p>\n
The liquid inside a volcano is called magma but when the volcano erupts the liquid becomes lava.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25Lava is very , very hot!\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n
We thought it would be a great idea to make our very own erupting volcano. We used chose some art materials such as paper, paint and glue to create our volcano and even added some dinosaurs to make them run from the lava!<\/p>\n
Now it was time for us to become Super Scientists!\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udd2c\ud83e\uddd1\ud83c\udffd\u200d\ud83d\udd2c
\nWe put on our safety goggles and gloves and some children thought it would be safer to put on some pretend \u2018lava boots\u2019 so our feet wouldn\u2019t burn!<\/p>\n
We listened carefully to our instructions as we had to measure out our science ingredients- 5 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda <\/p>\n We added the washing up liquid to the \u00a0bicarbonate of soda and added the colouring then gave them a good mix together. <\/p>\n Why don\u2019t you look out some lava boots and goggles and become a super scientist? A fun and easy experiment you can try at home!<\/p>\n \ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \ud83c\udf0b \u00a0\ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \ud83c\udf0b<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \u00a0 \ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \u00a0\ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \u00a0\ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \u00a0\ud83c\udf0b \u00a0 \ud83c\udf0b Today in our Discovery room we were learning about volcanoes and how they erupt. We looked at pictures of volcanoes erupting in some of our books we have in the science area. To investigate more and gather more information we watched some videos … Continue reading Our super scientists investigate volcanoes!<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n
\n1 tablespoon of easing up liquid
\n1 cup of vinegar
\nSome red food colouring ( to show the lava is hot!)<\/a><\/p>\n
\nNow \u00a0for the fun part! We sat back when it was time to add our vinegar and watched our volcano erupt!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
