Investigate acid-base reactions by creating a volcanic eruption

Create your own volcanic eruption and investigate acid-base reactions.

You will need:

  • Baking soda
  • Vinegar
  • A “volcano” –a container to hold the reaction

(Note: a fun related art project is to create and paint your own volcano out of Plaster of Paris or paper-maché with a built-in well to hold the reagents.)

Safety Tips:

Provide paper towels to clean up the resulting eruption – it can be a fizzy mess. The lab’s reagents are harmless, but you should take care to avoid contact with your eyes.
