My Magnificent Volcano
The past few days my Neila and I have been working on a volcano. This term we have been focusing on Maori myths and legends. In our group session we were reading the story, Battle of The Mountains. This was what we chose to do for our reading follow up. Here is how we made it;The first day we made a volcano shape out of tinfoil and tape. We covered a small bottle in tinfoil and stuck some different sized tinfoil balls to it. Then we covered it in lots more tinfoil. This took us quite a along time. The shape was inspired by Tongariro one of the main characters in The Battle Of The Mountains. The next day we mixed lots of different colours of paint. We finally got the perfect reddy brown colour. On the last day we made the volcano erupt. This was my favorite part. I really enjoyed making a volcano and hope that one day I can do it again.

Comment Question: Have you ever done a science experiment?
Hi I really liked your video about the volcano maybe next time you could add a little bit more of baking soda and food dye how long did it take you to make it?
ReplyDeleteHi Alice,
DeleteI am glad you liked our volcano. I think that we should have added a bit more baking soda too. It took us about three days to make the actual volcano, that included painting and making the structure.
Thanks Harriet
:)
You both did a great job!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing my tinfoil again.
