A very interesting project that one might be interested to work on is building a volcano, of course not building the real volcano, but a miniature resemblance a volcano. But what we are going to build is not ordinary volcano miniature, but the volcano we are going to build will be as close as the real one, and it will also erupts.

How to build a volcano and what are the things and the cost of building a miniature volcano? It is actually pretty straight forward and the cost of building a miniature volcano which can erupts when we want it to.

To construct the shape of the volcano, flour, water, salt and some cooking oil are required. All these items would not cost one a bomb and it can be easily available in almost every household. Constructing the shape of is easy where one can just mix all the items together and then the mountain shape can be formed using a cup. One can touch up the mixtures he so that a more realistic of the details of the mountains can be formed.

After construction of the volcano, one must not forget the most important part of a volcano, the eruption. Several ways can be used to create the eruption effects to the volcano; one of it is by adding detergent and baking soda together. The amount of the baking soda will determine how big the eruption of the volcano would be. When the volcano is ready for the eruption, one just need to pour in some vinegar, voila, the volcano will erupts.

It is not that tough to construct a volcano, one just has to spend some time to study on the cost and the method to build a more realistic volcano especially for children’s science project. There are many other ways to build a volcano. It is rather whether we want to spend the time doing it or not.
