Pics of Kids + Volcano School Project

The kids were in a good mood and they were looking cute, so I pulled out my camera and took some pictures of them "just because" on Wednesday, September 11.

This week in Science Jay studied rocks and fossils, earthquakes and tsunamis, volcanos, and what makes up soil. I decided to do an optional science project/experiment, so we made our own volcano and had it "erupt" today. I quizzed him to see how much he retained from our lesson earlier this week. (He did great!)

(Clay: salt, flour, and water)


 Our volcano mountain is formed!
 Outside we are all excited for the eruption to take place.
 Jay is the one in "school" but they all get in on the action, of course!
Jay requested red lava, but it came out pink since the red food colored vinegar was mixed with more water, plus baking soda and a few drops of dishwashing detergent.

David hopes we'll do it again, but this time he wants blue lava. Ha!
