Letter Day Preview- Vv (easy volcanoes)

For V day we made a volcano! I didn't want to spend too much time making one and after collaborating with my sister in law I came up with this super easy volcano! All you need is:baking soda, vinegar, red food coloring (for the lava) plate, small plastic snack container, toilet paper roll, tape (volcano)
Cut the toilet paper roll into 4 equal squares. Because this cardboard has been rolled up, it will make a great slope for your volcano. tape down to the plate as well as inside the container (AKA mouth of the volcano).
Add the food coloring first. Then scoop in some baking soda. We put in the vinegar last- since this was a liquid and easiest to pour. Watch with amazement as your volcano erupts! Just watch out for curious little hands who want to taste test this bubbly concoction!
We also ate veggies... yes, I took a picture but I won't bore you with a picture of it!
YAY for V day!
Happy Teaching!
