  1. On Monday i have to do the volcano demonstration four times in my reception class. We use baking soda, vinegar, water, food colouring. The only trouble is its a bit off a wimpy eruption, i want a gert big whoosh.
    Any ideas.
    Ive been told no fire and no harm to the children.

  7. Substitute baking soda for gunpowder and the wet components for petrol.

  8. I did think about chucking a banger down the volcano.
    and running.
     
  9. It ought to be a bigger explosion if you use more of the ingredients..

    Otherwise sweets and cola?
     
  10. Please remember children have to go home in one peace.
    We've just had OFTED bunch off T0553rs put us in special measures. Purley because data collection was incorrect. They came in with a agenda to make us an academy school.

    So blowing up children won't go down well.

    Ammonium dichromate does a good eruption when you ignite it.

    But with your ingredients, add a squirt of fairy liquid, use warm water and plenty of baking soda.

    If you want to harm people, battery acid is much more effective than vinegar and use caustic soda for the kill!
