Year 6 ERUPT! - March 2015

Lesson: Geography

Class: Year 6H Year: 2014 - 2015

In Year 6 we have been learning all about volcanoes; how they are formed, the different types of volcano, how they erupt and the devastating consequences that they create when they do.

As part of this project, the Year 6 pupils decided that they would like to create their very own active volcanoes! The children worked in groups to design, create and put their teamwork and artistic skills together to produce a realistic 3D volcano. Then we planned science experiments using mentos, lemonade, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and washing up liquid to create a dramatic eruption!

Look at our pictures  to see the final product - we were all very impressed and enjoyed making the volcanoes!
