Volcano Experiments

I had such an amazing time learning about volcanoes for our presentation in class. There is so much to learn and a ton of hands on experiments you can do with your students.

I did some more research and came up with some more great experiments we can use in our classrooms! I've included lots of links below! 

In this one, you can make a glowing or rainbow volcano!


Ice volcanoes just sound like great fun!

Underwater volcanoes are extremely neat and are another great way to explain what happens during an eruption.


It would also be very cool to talk about people who study volcanoes and the tools they use. In this experiment, the students can build a seismograph and measure shaking.

Make sure to include the one we did in class because it will help to avoid misconceptions! Happy experimenting!
