Volcano..........Eruption.......

For a few weeks now we have been learning about  volcanoes.
  • Volcanoes are openings in Earth's surface
  • When they are active they can let ash, gas and hot magna escape.
  • Hot liquid rock under the earth's surface is known as Magna it is called lava after it has come out of the volcano.
  • Volcanoes can be ACTIVE....DORMANT.....or EXTINCT.
We built our own volcano and on Friday this week we made it erupt.   WHAT A SIGHT!!!!


Some children had the opportunity to draw and cut out some trees and figures.
We even had some animals.

With the right concoction .....it ERUPTED!!!!

KEEP LOOKING...Interview with the onlookers next.


Lava....Love!!!

The red stuff?????= Lava (after it erupted)

Stuff we put into the volcano= Baking soda, dishwashing liquid and vinegar.

  1. Wow Room 7 that looks so awesome! I am glad that I have been able to see the volcano erupt, even though I wasn't at school yesterday. It must have been very exciting to see the volcano erupt in person!
