This science class was a BLAST!

Literally. Miss Hannah’s earth science class learned about the different types of volcanoes. Each student made their own paper mâché replica … and they erupted at the end of the presentations!

Depending on the type of volcano, each one erupted in a different way…a pink smoke bomb, a Coke and Mentos blast, and a baking-soda vinegar explosion. We want our students to be life-long learners, and hands-on projects like this make learning fun and the information memorable! Enjoy the photos from this fun day.

The class made replicas of three types of volcanoes: cinder cone, composite cone, and shield.

After presentations, it was time for the eruptions!

Watch out! It's about to explode!

Those smiles say it all! It was a great afternoon of sharing, learning, and fun!
