Learning ResourcesErupting Volcano Model, Fun Science Learning, Homeschool, Cross-Section Model with Foaming Lava, Ages 6+

I got this for my 3 year old who is fascinated with lava. We play this a few times a week. Gloves, glasses, and apron :). I let him drop his own food coloring and he loves the different colors he can create. It’s easily washed as it’s plastic. Hours worth of fun weakly. I purchase vinegar by the gallon.

My son has played with this ever since he got it. At first it was a prop for playing with dinos and now he’s really into experiments. So it’s been a good purchase. The quality is good, nothing has broken, the paint on the outside and the diagram on the inside have not been disturbed by all the baking soda and vinegar we’ve put in it. The tube is a good size, any larger and it would be a pain to clean out. Because it comes apart it’s also wary to clean the inside. My son loves it and I love that he’s played with it so much for so long and that it’s educational. I also like the size. I bought this one because all the others I found were too small. And it’s proven to be a good purchase.

Good!

My volcano obsessed 4 year old son loves this!! The good thing about it is that when it’s not in use, it just looks cool sitting out in his room. My only issue is when you’re doing the “eruption” the baking soda seems to get clogged up in the inside tube making the eruption not as great.

This was so much fun to play with. I had a group of 8 kids ages 6 to 12 and WE all had much fun playing with it. We did a mixture of vinegar, soap, food coloring and baking soda for the eruption. We tried different ratios and temperatures and and also the mixture without the dish soap. We all had so much fun with volcano. It comes with and information and instructions booklet that is very useful. Also comes with a cleaning tool. It was easy to clean and put away for the next we use it!

Because my 6 years old's son is a curious pre-scientific, I thought a real volcano (volcano model) could nourish his always thinking mind. However, the volcano was amazing just the first time he saw it. We make an eruption at the follow day and another one in the follow one. That's it! Now the box is standing in my room formally "inactive". As a teacher, I wondering if it could be a good experience for my students at school, but I don't know yet if for 3 years old could provide the same emotions than for a 5-6 years child. The information inside the model is more for older ones. For educational resource, it will help but for a regular present for your children (it doesn't matter how scientific they are) won't be a good-excited idea.

Perfect for my Elementary Science Lab lesson on fast land changes. My students love watching this volcano erupt. Great quality construction, comes with a tray for the overflow, very easy to clean with a removable center tube, large size. Just perfect for teachers, and kiddos at home that enjoy volcanoes.

Nicest large set I've seen. Fast shipping.
