Amazing Volcanoes!

To celebrate the fact that every student was present last week and conquered the FCAT, I decided it would be just plain FUN to create our own volcanoes. Now, these aren't just an ordinary volcanoes. They are from different lands around our universe.

Friends worked in groups and chose 3 different colors of play dough, created their volcano and anything they wanted surrounding it. They then gave their land a name and created a sign. Finally, I allowed them to choose what color lava they wanted flowing out of their volcano.

We simply used baking soda, a little dish soap (for extra foamy lava), and food coloring. We mixed the basic colors to get colors like purple and orange! My friends had a BLAST (literally) and really showed their teamwork and creativity. Check it out!
