Comics Pyramid Volcano should be the name of a band. However it's the name of something much cooler, my 4th and final science experiment. While researching on how to build a volcano, I found that most required painting and creating a mold. I was not interested in doing either. I wanted to keep the mess to a minimal. I wanted to cover the bottle with Comic Strips but had no idea it would be shaped like a pyramid. I just kept laying down the strips of comics over the tape and the pyramid shape was born. An eye candy delight. It looked plain just laying on cardboard, so I decided to lay down a bed of leaves. I was thrilled with the results. Now that the volcano and bed of leaves were completed it was time to pour in the ingredients. I anxiously waited for the eruption and then all of sudden, BOOM. So freaking exciting. The eruption lasted for about 4-5 minutes. I did it twice. It was worth all the time and effort I put into this experiment. I decided to leave the volcano in my backyard to perform some more eruptions and see what the mother nature does to it. I must say I enjoyed the Mentos & Diet Coke along with the Volcano experiment the most. No coincidence they both involved eruptions. Come back to see July's Challenge.
I agree, this was one of the more enjoyable experiments to date. Its really cool to see what a few household items can do. We need to do more things like this. looking forward to whats to come.
