Volcano Eruption Experiment

This project shows what happens when an acid (vinegar) and a base (baking soda) interact. Chemically, the acid and base neutralize each other, producing carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct. Easy and simply to do at home! Try this fun experiment today...



                     Watch Volcano Demo

In a real volcano, molten rock forms deep within the Earth and erupts through the volcano (the molten rock is called magma), which forms within the Earth, causing the lava to flow out!  You have several features of a volcano: Magma Chamber, main Vent, Secondary Vent, Secondary Cone, Crater, Lava Flow, Prognostic Flow, Volcanic Bombs and an ash cloud!
