🧪 Science with Sarah: Play-Doh volcanoes 🌋

👉 Watch the video of Sarah’s science experiment at Olympia Elementary School here!

Hello parents, teachers and students! It’s a classic one: the vinegar & baking soda volcano experiment.

Be sure to check out GMSA@9 on Wednesdays when Meteorologist Sarah Spivey does the demonstrations and explains the science behind it.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• Play-doh or other modeling clay
• A pipette
• Vinegar
• Baking soda
• A straw
• Tray or plate
• Glitter (optional)

DO THE EXPERIMENT

• STEP 1: On top of a plate or a tray, mold a volcano shape around a straw

• STEP 2: Remove the straw from the middle of the volcano
• STEP 3: Place a little baking soda into the mouth of your volcano. Put a little glitter in there if you’d like!
• STEP 4: Using the pipette, pipe some vinegar into the mouth of the volcano and watch as it bubbles up and out of the volcano
