wyatt, over break, was able to do a volcano project for his science course. he already had learned that hot magma with low silica content moved quickly through the volcano, but little did we know that heating the vinegar would cause a HUGE volcanic explosion in our kitchen!! adding the silica (sand) was not as exciting...much slower...needed to repeat the heated vinegar because we were so shocked...2nd time though we stood back! it was too convenient that the wood scrap resembled an oceanic plate subducting under a continental plate...leave it to wyatt to recognize that!
