Group: Ryan, Tyler, And Chris Class: Physical Science Instructor: Diane Phillips

This is what we did.

Volcano Tyler prepared a demonstration of a Volcano eruption.

Volcano Demonstration

Volcano Demonstration Video

Volcano With the use of Baking Soda and Vinegar the volcano erupts.

Materials Used for Volcano Demo. Cardboard Paint (Choose Your own Color) Volcano kit from Hobby Lobby ( works great but you can also make your own out of plaster of Paris by forming it into a volcano shape with a center hole) Vinegar Baking Soda Any extra pictures or diorama you want to use to make the volcano look real and fun.

Volcano Activity To make the simulation of a volcano erupting, simply put baking soda in the volcano hole. Add vinegar and a chemical reaction takes place and the volcano will erupt. You can add food color or even paint to give it some color.

Tornado/Hurricane Video

Check website for videos of the Tornado/ Hurricane demonstration. Physical%20Science/Disasters/disasters.htm Physical%20Science/Disasters/disasters.htm

Materials used for tornado/ hurricane demonstration. Cardboard Duck tape Plexiglas Dry ice Warm water in a beaker Hot plate Fan

Tornado/Hurricane Activity Build a 12” X 12” box with at least two windows of Plexiglas. In all four sides put at least a ¾” slit in opposite sides from the other. After built heat the hot plate and put hot water in a pan and place on the hot plate. Place a good size piece of dry ice in the pan. Place the box structure around the hot plate. Let a cloud form. Place a fan on top of the box with a low speed. The cloud will start to rotate in a counter clockwise direction forming a simulation of a tornado/hurricane.

Thanks!! Thanks for all the support of classmates for making this project happen. And a special thanks to Mrs. Philips for helping us get the dry ice for the presentation and the encouragement she has given us throughout the semester. Again Thanks, Ryan, Chris, and Tyler
