No Vinegar Volcano

Materials:  Salt, flour, vegetable oil, water, hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, food coloring, baking dish

Dump a can of salt into a bowl. Add about as much white flour as you have salt. Add 3-4 tablespoons oil. Add water, about 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is moist enough to mold and hold its shape. Add food coloring.   

No measuring for this project!  Once the dough holds itself together, let the children work the color in and play with it. Build the volcano around a plastic bottle. You will need warm water, yeast, 6% hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and food coloring to make the eruption. First, mix about 2 tablespoons warm water with 1 teaspoon yeast in a cup and set it aside. Next, pour about 1/2 cup 6% hydrogen peroxide into the volcano. Add a big squirt of dish soap and some red food coloring. Check your yeast to see if it is starting to grow. If it is, quickly pour it into the volcano and enjoy the reaction.
