Volcanic Eruptions

Sixth Graders erupted their volcanoes this afternoon during science class. Three of the groups used the good old fashion baking soda and vinegar method. One of the groups used hydrogen peroxide. I need to edit the video just a bit to make it work. Once I have it working I will post for all to see. In the meanwhile, take a peak at the volcanoes.
