Volcanoes!!! My children are fascinated with them and love studying all about them! This is an awesome Volcano Kit experiment for kids of all ages. I will definitely be getting at least one for our home. 

Volcano Facts for Kids

Before you jump into the volcano science experiment, share these interesting facts about volcanos with your little learners:

• There are about 1,900 active volcanoes on the earth. This means they have erupted recently or they might erupt. Some volcanoes are extinct. Over 80 volcanoes have been found in the ocean.
• Most volcanoes happen on fault lines, or cracks in the Earth’s surface.
• Most of the earth’s volcanoes are in the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
• The word “volcano” comes from Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
• Lava from volcanoes can reach temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Volcanoes spew out ash and toxic gases, as well as lava and lava boulders.

Using the Volcano Kit from the video, little scientists are asked to mix chemicals to make the volcano erupt! This will be an experiment that Young Scientists will want to repeat again and again!
