Volcano Project

The past few weeks we have been working on our volcanoes. My group consisted of Quinten, Alex and I(Caleb). Alex is not pictured. Our first step in this project was to make a poster about the 3 different types of volcanoes and 1 real volcano in the world. The three different types of volcanoes are composite, cinder cone and shield volcanoes. The volcano that we picked in the real world is Mt. Fuji. After we were done with the poster we started working on our volcano model. We constructed a skeleton for our volcano(cardboard) then we covered it with paper mache. After that we painted and labeled parts of our volcano. We are going to make it explode by using diet coke and mento’s. Overall my group did a great job and I think our volcano is going to be successful.
