When it comes to kids and science fair projects, the classic “Erupting Volcano” wins hands down. There just something magical about mixing vinegar and baking soda to create a foaming bed of lava. However, if you’re looking for more than just the typical vinegar-baking soda recipe, check out the video clip below… and don’t miss the final eruption! If you’re looking for the science of volcanoes and an easy science fair project, click here.

What is the last ingredient you added to make the foam in the beaker. I got hydrogen peroxide and soap but can’t determine the third ingredient. This type of volcanic explosion is just what I want for my science experiment.

The catalyst in the beaker is a solution of sodium iodide. It’s important that you understand that this reaction is very exothermic and the 30% hydrogen peroxide can be very dangerous to handle. You must have goggles on and all safety measures in place.
Where can I find the catalyst and how much does it cost? thanks
Because of the chemicals needed for the experiment, you’ll need to contact Flinn Scientific at (800) 452-1261. You have to be a middle or high school science teacher to buy from them – that’s their policy. There’s not a better chemical supply company for teachers in the world.
i have a science project on making a volcano. I want my volcano to explode up in the air a few feet how do i do that without using the mentos and diet cola method?
I am looking for a safe volcano for my 9yr old any suggestions?
I would recommend the volcano kit mentioned in the post, which can be found right here: https://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/1716
I’m trying to make a foaming lava volcano. what kind and how much vinegar? how much baking soda do I use.
just alittle bit of bacon soda
I need a formula for my science project i need to make a volcano erupt without using baking soda and vinegar
what reactans would be good to use for a volcano experiment
