These past couple of weeks, we have been learning about volcanoes. We also have made replicas of real volcanoes of our choice from around the world. My group has chosen a volcano from the Philippines named the Taal Volcano since it recently erupted.
Project - Taal volcano
It is a caldera volcano and is currently active as of now.
Different types of volcanoes:
A caldera forms when a volcano erupts and then collapses, this creates a large depression.
Types of rock formations that form around the volcano.
Olivine Basalt which is a type of mineral.
Andesite
Plan
Make a border around the volcano and make it look like the volcano looks like it’s submerged in water.
We need to make it slightly taller than the bottle we’re going to use while still making it look like just
the very top of the volcano.
Making the base out of cardboard, we will roughly cut out the shape of the volcano.
Reaction: Elephant's Toothpaste
Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Permanganate -
Turns brown as a chemical reaction between the oxygen and the Potassium Permanganate.
Put warm water in a bottle, then put Potassium Permanganate crystals. Mix.
Add 1-2 drops of detergent to the mixture.
Find an open space.
Pour Hydrogen Peroxide in a measuring cylinder, pour till satisfied with the amount.
Then, quickly pour the Hydrogen Peroxide into the bottle, wait for the reaction.
