Volcano Experiment

For our writing experience we made an erupting volcano in our sandpit. We added baking soda, food colouring, warm water, dish washing liquid and finally vinegar into the top. Whizz! Whoosh! A chemical reaction took place and a red river of lava flowed out the top of the volcano.
We used this experience to write about a moment in time (an erupting volcano). In groups we brainstormed all the adjectives and verbs we could use to describe it.

Here is a slideshow of our experiment.

Here is a moment in time of the erupting volcano written by Honey

Sizzle! Sizzle! The lava tumbled down the volcano. Crash! The red and yellow lava smashes everything. The smoke is as gray as the rain clouds. The lava bubbles like bubbles in a bath. When the lava gives up it turns in to rock.
