Introduction:
Objective:
Describe the process of chemical reaction in the volcanic eruption.
Relate the scientific concept and observation to the process of volcanic
eruption.
Build a model of volcano.
Materials Needed:
For the eruption:
For the volcano model:
Small bowl
Two A3 sheets of card
Cup
200 ml plastic bottle
1 tbsp of baking soda
Pencil
1 tbsp washing up liquid
Scissors
2 tbsp water
Tape
½ cup vinegar
Paint and paintbrushes
1 tbsp red food colouring
Safety Precautions:
Procedure for Volcano Model and Volcanic Eruption:
For Volcano Model:
1. Place your bottle upside down in the centre of a sheet of card
and draw a small circle around the neck.
2. Cut a straight line through the card to the middle of the circle,
and cut it out.
3. Overlap the two sides of the card to make a cone shape. Tape this
into place, leaving a hole where you cut out the circle.
Cut around the base of the cone so that it sits flat, but make sure
that it is still taller than your bottle.
4. Place the cone over the bottle. Tape the top of the paper cone to
the neck of the bottle to hold it in place. Tape the base of the cone
to the other sheet of card.
5. Use paint to decorate the cone and make it look like a volcano.
Allow your model to fully dry.
Observation:
6. In a bowl, combine the
bicarbonate of soda and washing
up liquid. Add the water and mix
thoroughly. Pour this mixture
into your volcano.
