Erupting Volcano
-------------------------------
This would be a fun experiment for classrooms, daycares, Girl Scouts, and Cub
Scouts. This volcano takes a bit more time to create than our easy version.
This also makes a fun birthday activity for a Dinosaur Birthday party!
Parental supervision is recommended.
Note: As in all recipes, results can vary depending on humidity, conditions,
etc. Please try any recipe out before attempting in a group setting.
This project is rated AVERAGE to do.
What You Need
* Large plastic or foam plate
* Brown FIMO clay (or another clay you can bake)
* Orange FIMO clay
* Plastic film canister
* Plastic disposable knife
* Wax paper
* Aluminum foil
* Tacky glue
* Cookie sheet
* Oven
* Alka-Seltzer tablets (generic is fine)
* Water in a cup (with pour spout)
How To Make It
1. Tear off a piece of wax paper and lay out on the table.
2. Tear off a piece of foil about the size of a piece of notebook paper.
3. Roll the foil into a snake-like form.
4. Wrap the foil snake around the base of the canister to create a wider base
for the volcano.
5. Create additional foil snakes if needed.
6. Use glue to connect the snakes if you have difficulty with them staying in
place.
7. Continue until you get the basic shape of the volcano created.
8. Knead brown clay until easy to work with then lay aside on the wax paper.
9. Knead the orange clay until easy to work with then lay aside on the wax
paper.
10. Take the brown clay and push out on the wax paper until thin and flat.
(Note: Do not use rolling pins that you would use again on food!)
11. Cover the canister and foil snakes with a flat layer of brown clay.
12. Do not have the clay enter the inside of the canister as you will need to
remove the canister before baking.
13. Make an erupting lava look by using the orange clay and making lava drips.
(see photo)
14. Remove the film canister. Make sure the volcano holds its' shape.
15. Tear off a piece of foil big enough for the volcano to sit on. Place on
cookie sheet.
16. Place volcano on foil.
17. Bake according to manufacturer's instructions. Let cool.
18. Carefully insert the film canister.
19. Place the volcano on the disposable plate.
20. Add one Alka-Seltzer tablet to the canister. (Break tablet in half, if
needed)
21. Add water about 1/2 way up the canister.
22. Watch your volcano erupt before your eyes!
