Mt Valentine

We love to build volcanoes in the sandpit and make them erupt. The children built a heart shaped volcano in the sandpit on Valentines day which we named Mt Valentine and had lots of fun exploring science as they made their volcano erupt.

Isobel had a great idea to drill a hole for the crater instead of using our hands

Adding the baking soda

Evan adds some vinegar to cause a fizzing reaction

We added red colour to make it look like lava

Lachlan has a turn to add the vinegar

Issy just loves making the volcanoes erupt. Gabriel was jumping and squealing with excitement as the lava flowed down Mt Valentine. 

Jack also enjoyed adding some vinegar to our crater
