Materials
Modeling clay
1 Tablespoon of baking soda
Red food coloring
Liquid dishwashing soap
1/4 cup of vinegar 

Directions
Set up a work area with newspaper, or have a surface that can get wet. This project can get messy!

Model your volcano out of brown and green modeling clay. You can use red clay around the rim of the volcano to make it look like flowing red-hot lava. Scoop out a hole at the top of the volcano and stir in 1 tablespoon of baking soda, a few drops of red food coloring, and a few drops of liquid dishwashing detergent. 

When you're ready for the volcano to erupt, pour in 1/4 cup of vinegar and stand back!
