Theme 1, Semester 3: The Environment

One of the features of the environment that was given attention to under this theme was the volcano. For this reason, we performed an experiment with the children to create a "volcanic eruption" using the clay model volcano that was made by a few children from Whiz Kids 3 (Teacher Mizon's class), namely Irfan, Syazwan, Elsa and Mikhail. Here are some of the pictures we took during the experiment:








Parents can perform this activity too! It's a very simple experiment and parents can get the children involved in the process.
Here are the steps:

1. Parents may want to use a plastic cup or an empty mineral water bottle as the volcano.
2. First, pour in some baking soda or soda bicarbonate into a clean and dry bottle or plastic cup.
3. Add in some red or orange foo colouring so when it erupts, the liquid that pours out will look like lava.
4. Pour in as much vinegar as possible into the bottle or platic cup to create an eruption.
Tip: the more vinegar and soda you use, the bigger the eruption.

p/s: parents may want to line the bottle and table with dry cloth as this may get quite messy

latsly, hope you guys have fun!!
