It's a Volcano!!!!! at preschool

On a past episode of Dinosaur Train the Pteranodon family took the train to see a volcano erupt (yes I know that  this is full of irony).  So when she found out that Teacher Carol would be focusing on dinosaurs for two weeks AND...she would get to make a volcano...she was super excited!!

For the last two weeks she made the volcano form (thanks to a yogurt cup, small plate, foil, gauze, and glue), painted dinosaurs, painted dinosaur "fossils" and every time she told me about it she showed so much excitement.

Then came the day...time for the volcano to erupt. I am so glad that I was able to be in her class on that day!  She loved it!  She did such a great job of carefully spooning in some baking soda and poured the vinegar in perfectly.  It was a great deal of fun to watch her and her friends enjoy science!  I can't wait for the next experiment.  It made me think of my third grade science fair when I used the same ingredients to make a plastic bottle submarine.
