Volcano Making

Year 4 pupils have recently enjoyed an exciting hands-on activity to conclude their learning about volcanoes. As part of their study of this fascinating natural phenomenon, the children created their own volcano models using a variety of recycled materials. They explored how these powerful forces of nature are formed, what causes eruptions, and the impact volcanoes can have on the environment. The highlight of the project was watching their models ‘erupt’ using a safe chemical reaction, which brought science to life in a truly memorable way. This activity not only deepened their understanding of volcanoes but also sparked curiosity and enthusiasm for future learning.
