Science for Toddler: Volcanic Eruption

Post by MamaFiza on February 21, 2008 

Last Monday, my kiddies and I made “Volcano Eruption Project” *Alhamdulillah*.

In the afternoon, we produced edible play dough to make our volcano at home.

At night, we brought the creation to my grandma’s house.

These simple but fun experiments will introduce younger children to the basics of science, and at the same time they are simple and easy to prepare.

p/s: please ignore my voice. Thank you ;)

Why it happened (explain to your toddler):

The baking soda reacted with vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas.
The gas built up enough pressure to push the foaming liquid out of the top of the bottle.

Lets try this project with your toddler!

May Allah swt always blessed your family. Amin~

    I watched your home video with my son and we both enjoyed it greatly! My son made me play the video repeatedly – a sure sign of keen interest in your project! Thanks for the fun educational video, Mamafiza;)
