Erupting volcanoes!

This week we are learning about volcanoes around the world. In small groups today, we were set a research challenge to find out how volcanoes work, what different features there are and interesting facts about volcanoes. Some groups worked well in small groups and met the success criteria within the time limit. However, some other groups need to be more aware of the time and work at a quicker pace, this is something we'll work on.
After sharing what we learned, we then worked in different groups to follow instructions to create a volcanic eruption. Some groups followed the instructions carefully. We learned about chemical reactions and carrying out fair experiments. Some volcanoes worked better than others for different reasons we discussed.

 We carefully followed instructions to set up the experiment. 

 We used watched the different materials react...

some were quicker than others. 

We thoroughly enjoyed the volcano experiment and learning about chemical reactions!
