Jake is learning about Volcanoes.

Jake is interested in volcanoes.
During discovery time Jake wondered about what was inside volcanoes and how they erupted. He did some finding out from the internet and in books.
Mrs Keane helped him make a volcano erupt in the sandpit using baking soda and vinegar and some orange paint to make it look like flames.
Jake told us the baking soda represented the rocks inside the Earth and when he poured in the vinegar that was like the rocks heating up so much that they melted and turned into the hot lava of melted rocks that erupt out of a volcano.
