How to Make a Volcano

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Lay down a sheet of wax paper.

   Use a container (soda can, mason jar, plastic bottle, etc.) to form the center of your volcano.
   
   This is where you will mix your lava! , Mold the clay from the base to the top of the can.
   
   Try to make it look lumpy instead of smooth, since real volcanoes don’t look like perfect cones most of the time! ,, Color some vinegar with red food coloring and mix in a tablespoon of dish soap. ,, Take baking soda and pour it on a square of toilet paper or paper towel.
   
   Fold up the toilet paper/paper towel.
   
   Keep it closed with rubber bands. ,, Once the paper dissolves, your volcano will explode.
