Ah, the school project science standard, the Volcano!
Our modern twist is using shredded documents vs. newspaper to get the built up mass. Mixing the shred and glue is a gooey highlight.
*By the way, though this volcano was made at Create STUDIO, It is an awesome in-class project with All campus only materials to make the mountain! Substitute the bottle for double rolled construction paper to make a tube and crumpled construction paper to make the rocks! Use a plastic lunch or science tray to catch the baking soda mixture once made.
We love this easy classroom project idea we spotted on Pinterest!
All you need is:
Plain paper
Black Sharpe
Straw (ask in your school cafeteria)
Watercolor paints
Have the kids do this in steps:
1. Draw a face on the paper with sharpie.
2. Take watercolors and paint basic lines for hair with a nice wet brush.
3. Now the straw comes in. Blow the watercolor with all your might
4. Admire your work!
Cardboard is probably one of the highest produced recyclable materials that comes to school campuses in the form of delivery boxes.
We see these boxes anoither way, as saw materials to use in a number of creative ways. Cardboard letters and initials are perfect for student learning and artistic ownership. Try using your cardboard scraps in this fun way. You’ll be glad you did.
