Gooey Volcanoes



Science mad Ben has been picking out experiments to test out from his collection of new science books. Today's project: "Gooey volcano" from Richard Hammond's Blast Lab book.

The directions call for making a volcano out of jello and then injecting baking soda and vinegar into the volcano w/ a baster. Our first volcano was a flop- so Ben turned it into a dinosaur land. Take two was a little bit better, but not much... but since the poor little guy was so excited, we decided that a volcano didn't really have to look like a volcano, right?
