Volcano

So we were reading about the Dutch East Indies and Sumatra and colonization, etc. and the activity book mentions that Krakatoa erupted in 1883 making one of the biggest explosions ever recorded. So the activity book suggested making the home made version of a volcano. Paper towel tube in the middle

Pack newspaper around it and

cover it with foil.

Three tablespoons of baking soda packed into a bag tucked in the top of the paper towel tube.

1/3 of a cup of vinegar and some red food coloring poured into the bag with the baking powder..

And we get a small volcanic eruption.

B & J after the eruption.
