Tried and True

Today we started making our papier mache volcano. We've been reading about earthquakes and volcanoes for a while now, and Claire decided she really wanted to make a volcano. (She came up with a pretty cool experiment for seismic waves all on her own. We're still trying to get the videos on the computer though. I'll let her write that up, hopefully soon!)
We talked about what would give us the most exciting eruption. Of course, there is the tried and true vinegar and baking soda, which we may try. But I think our first eruption will be created with Diet Coke and Mentos. (Thanks Eepy Bird guys!)
So for now, I'll just post a few pictures of Claire making her volcano, up to her elbows in flour, water and glue. What fun!
