paper mache is flour mixed with water into paste. Use food coloring to darken the mixture and brown toilet paper or kitchen rolls or news paper. Dip strips of paper 3" x 15" into this mixture and wrap it around chicken wire or other easy molded framing material to make a volcano cone. use a test tube or other small type of cup in the center hole. After the paper drys paint brown or while still wet sprinkle the cone with dirt and patt so it sticks to the sides. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda / sodium bicarbonate
into the tube. when you are ready to make the eruption pour in 5 tablespoons of red wine vingar with extra red food coloring to cause reaction/eruption! Advanced technique: instead of a cup or test tube build a model rocket from Estes and use the tube and engin holder mounted upside down in the volcano center cone. Ignite the rocket engine with the ignition hardware from a rocket kit. This gives a real fire blast with tons of smoke, but is dangerouos so be carefulll and test your construction prior to exhibit/exhibition

Step One: Approach Mom or Dad when they are in a good mood.
Step Two: Ask Mom or Dad to make you a model of a volcano.
Step Three: When they say no cry like a baby and say please.
Step Four: Your parents build you a model volcano you can bring to class.

small coke bottle. take wet paper & mould it around the bottle to form a volcano. For the final few layers of paper, use wood glue to soak the paper & let to set. Then paint to desired colours. Be sure to keep the bottle opening open so that you can throw a bit of water into it & small pieces of dry ice to add the effect of smoke rising through the top!

Good luck
