How fantastic to see your enthusiasm for this science experiment, Room 3! I do hope you get a chance to try it at home. Be sure that Mum, Dad or an adult helps you! Have fun!
Here's what you need:
1 tsp baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate)
1 tsp citric acid
4-5 droplets of red food colouring
Note - you can add more baking soda and citric acid, but both quantities should be the same.
A plastic cup that can be turned upside down to hold all ingredients and so it looks like a mountain.
A plastic plate to catch ingredients.
See pictures below.
Let me know how you get on, or post some pictures of you being a 'super scientist' at home!
Enjoy!

Welcome to Term Two
It's great to be back in the classroom!
We have started our Inquiry Learning by making our own volcanoes this week. The children were very excited by this and they could easily show you how to make a volcano at home, using baking soda, citric acid and red food colouring. We have also followed up with some fabulous writing and are looking forward to sharing this experiment with all of the juniors during adventure time on Friday.
