SNOW VOLCANO

Today we are going to make a snow volcano! We are going to pile up a heap of snow around a small glass jar or plastic cup,, add the ingredients for the baking soda and vinegar reaction and stand back to watch the snow volcano erupt!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A SNOW VOLCANO ERUPTION

2 spoonfuls of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)

1 spoonful washing up liquid 

a few drops of red food colouring

30 ml vinegar

Snow

1. Add everything except the vinegar to the container.

2. Carefully shape a volcano shape around the container using snow.
