Volcanoes for Science

Our volcano is a composite volcano. We are exploding it with vinegar and baking soda, which will be a quiet explosion. We call it Mount Bangellie. We compared it to Mount Lassen. We are including a crater, a vent, a pipe, ash, cinders, bombs, Magma chamber, side vent, hot spring and lava flow. We have an x-ray to represent the stuff on it. It was made out of cheap playdough, a pop bottle, paint cotton balls, flour and cardboard.

Spaghetti tower

We have a picture of the practice tower, but not the real one. The real one turned out way better because the measurements were exact. :Photo on 2-9-16 at 11.00 AM

The thing that we did best was the side panels with the X’s. They helped us out and were an essential part to our tower.

What didn’t go well was that our egg holder broke and so we had to turn it over, that mean that the sticky side was up.

My favorite part was working with Abby, Ellie and Tiana. That was lots of fun!

My least favorite part was the stress of not knowing if it would work.
