Olympus Mons

You know where that volcano is, right?  Here's a hint... it's the biggest volcano in the solar system!  (Now ask my kids the answer if you don't know.)

Last week we did the classic volcano experiment.  (You know, the one with the baking soda and vinegar.) Our science book talked about making a volcano out of salt dough, but Big J suggested we go for something slightly more realistic... the digging spot!  We did the experiment 2 different days (just for fun).

Day 1

Prepping the interior of the volcano

Yelling "VOLCANO" in anticipation

Watching it 'erupt'
Day 2

Prepping the interior

Green lava!  (I was out of red food coloring)
