Volcano Package

Recently in mantle we have had a man in the travel agency called Mr Southgate who wanted us to make a volcano package.So have been making a volcano package which includes: a model volcano.The volcanoes were made out of mode rock, the base was made out of an empty bottle, the first layer is paper and the second is mode rock. After we had done that and they had dried we panted them, the colours were different textures of brown, orange, red and dark green for some grass growing up the side. We added detail and left them to dry. When they were fully dry we made them erupt by using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar and we also added red food colouring to make the eruption look like lava. Also in the package instructions on how to use the volcano and how to make one.
