Science Project: Volcanic Eruption Model
Material:
• Chart paper
• Foam or cardboard
• Clay or dough
• Paint colors (red, brown, black)
• Baking soda, vinegar, dish soap (for eruption)
Procedure (4 lines):
1. Make a cone-shaped mountain using foam or clay on cardboard.
2. Create a crater at the top and paint the model to look like a volcano.
3. Put some baking soda, red color, and dish soap inside the crater.
4. Pour vinegar to show the eruption of lava.
