Exploding volcanoes in Room 4

Room 4 were investigating materials and change. We investigated what happens acids and bases are mixed. We used vinegar as an acid and bread soda as our base. When we mixed them, we discovered that it created a fizz! To make it more exciting we added food colouring to make our very own volcanoes.

Take a look!
