Lava Experiment

Today we are busy, busy, busy. NO TIME TO BE BORED!
Julian and A watched a couple of videos on YouTube of volcano's spewing Lava and their interest was peaked. So I decided to go forward with the science experiment. Thanks Brandy for the instructions.
So while A took a nap, Julian made the volcano part of it.


Ms. C making her own little volcano :)



Before they poured the "lava" we talked about how when Lave is very hot it flows faster and when it is cold it flows very slowly. I demonstrated this by pouring hot and cold syrup onto an inclined plate. They guessed which one was flowing faster.
Between the two of them, they decided Jules would pour the lava......



The eruption of Mt. Hillside!! LOL. They both jumped up and cleared the table. They weren't expecting the eruption like that.


Then, they discussed what happened and how cool it was.
