MAGMATISM
NAME: _________________________________________ SECTION: ________

OBJECTIVES: Understand the basic principles of magmatism.


MATERIALS:
• A clear plastic • Vinegar • A flashlight
bottle with a cap • Vegetable oil (optional, for
(empty and clean) • Red food coloring added effec

PROCEDURES:
1. Fill the clear cup or glass about one-third full with vinegar.
2. Add a few drops of food coloring to the vinegar and stir to mix. This will
add color to your "lava."
3. On a separate cup, pour some baking soda (about a teaspoon)
4. Pour the vegetable oil in the bottle until is almost full. You may want to
use a measuring cup with a spout or a funnel. You may have to wait a couple
of minutes for the oil and water to separate.
5. Pour the vinegar with food coloring to the cup with baking soda.
6. You can use a small flashlight to shine light through the cup for added
visual effects and discussion about light and color.

Guide Questions:

1. What happens when the baking soda reacts with the vinegar?

2. Do the bubbles rise or fall? Why?

3. What causes the "magma" to rise and fall?

4. How does the food coloring add to the visual effect?

5. How would you explain magmatism based from the experiment?

VOLCANISM
NAME: _________________________________________ SECTION:________

OBJECTIVES: To test and calculate the specific gravity of a mineral.

• Volcano model
• Vinegar
• Red food coloring
• Baking soda

PROCEDURES:
1. Prepare the "Volcano":
• Use a container as the base of your volcano. This could be a small
plastic bottle or a cup.
• If you're using a bottle, you may want to shape the volcano around it
using clay or playdough to create a mountain-like structure.
2. Create the Lava:
• In a separate bowl, mix baking soda and a few drops of red food
coloring. This will represent the lava.
• Fill the crater of your volcano with this mixture.
3. Add Dish Soap:
• Pour a small amount of dish soap into the mixture. This helps create a
foaming effect.
4. Trigger the Eruption:
• When you're ready for the eruption, pour vinegar into the crater.
• Watch as the chemical reaction between the vinegar (acid) and baking
soda (base) produces carbon dioxide gas, causing the mixture to bubble
and overflow, resembling a volcanic eruption.
5. Observe and Learn:
• Observe the eruption and discuss the science behind it. The reaction
between the acid (vinegar) and the base (baking soda) produces carbon
dioxide gas, creating bubbles and the "lava" overflow

Guide Questions:

1. What role do each of the materials (baking soda, vinegar, dish soap,
and food coloring) play in the experiment?
2. What is the chemical reaction happening when we mix baking soda and
vinegar?
3. How does the "lava" flow, and what does it resemble in a real volcanic
eruption?
4. How might changing the amount of baking soda or vinegar affect the
eruption?
