We gathered up the final remaining bits of snow this afternoon to make a Baking Soda Volcano utilizing snow! A snow volcano is an effective way to have some enjoyable within the snow whereas studying and experimenting.
I piled up a heap of snow round a small glass jar, making the highest of the snow degree with the highest of the jar, added the components for the baking soda and vinegar response and stood again to look at the snow volcano erupt!

How does a baking soda volcano work?
Vinegar (an acid ) and bicarbonate of soda ( an alkali ) react collectively to neutralise one another. This response releases carbon dioxide, a fuel which is the bubbles you see; these bubbles make the washing up liquid bubble as much as give the response proven above.
One other concept is to make a multi-coloured snow volcano. To do that, we used a thick card to divide the central container in half and added yellow meals colouring to at least one half and pink meals colouring to the opposite half.
