Our topic for Asian Studies for Semester 2 is Indonesia. In the last week of school, the Preps were learning about volcanos, which are very common across many parts of Indonesia. Students created diagrams, watched a David Attenborough documentary and finally got to create their own volcano. During Developmental Play, some Preps helped us create our volcano using sand and a bottle which went in the centre. In the afternoon, Ben showed us how to make the volcano erupt using baking soda, vinegar and red food dye.
As you can see in the pictures and the video below, the Preps were VERY excited. Next time, we are hoping to create an even bigger explosion.
If you would like to do this at home, we recommend the following website for instructions: http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/experiments/vinegarvolcano.html
