ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED:
1.Read and follow these instructions ,the safety rules and first aid information and keep
them for reference .
2.lncorrect use of chemicals can cause injury and damage to health. Only carry out
those experiments which are listed in the instructions.
3.This chemistry set is for use only by children over 10 years.
4.Childern's abilities vary so much, even within age groups, supervising adults should
exercise discretion as to which experiments are suitable and safe for them.The
instructions should enable supervisors to assess any experiment to establish its
suitability for a particular child.
S.The supervising adult should discuss the warnings and safety information with the
child or children before commencing the experiments .Particular attention should be
paid to the safe handling of acid ,alkalis and flammable liquids.
6.The area surrounding the experiment should be kept clear of any obstructions and
away from food .lt should be well lit and ventilated and close to a water supply.
7.A solid table with a heat-resistant top should be provided.
8.Dispose of contents/ container to a household waste recycling center as hazardous waste
except for empty containers which can be disposed of in the dustbin. You may contact with
your local council for details.

What causes the volcano eruption? Originally, the interior of the earth is fulfilled with hot
magma and swollen bubble. Under extreme pressure, the magma wrll break through the
earth from a very weak point and spout out. That causes the volcano eruption.
This is one DIY experimental device about Volcano Eruption. Children can witness the
whole process of a volcano eruption and know its working principle through doing the
experiment themselves with adult supervision.

1 . Make sure you have put on your safety goggles.Make sure the volcano model is dry. Put same
amount of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid powder inside the volcano crater and stir to mix
(Fig.1). You can start by using 59 of each chemical. Use more for a more dramatic effect!

Pour some red food colouring (not included)
into the plastic cup and use the plastic dropper
to draw red food colouring (not included) into
the dropper until it is full(Fig. 2).

Now you have seen a simulated eruption,
but what really is a volcano? A volcano is
a vent in the surface of the Earth through
which magma and associated gases and
ash erupt; also, the form or structure,
usually conical, is produced by the
ejected material.

* What is a volcano?

Volcanoes erupt when the pressure within the magma under the sudace becomes
stronger than the rocks that make up the volcano. That pressure comes both from
the buoyancy of the magma and from gas bubbles inside the magma that want
to expand. lf the pressure can be released easily then you will have a peaceful
eruption such as in Hawaii. lf the pressure is released explosively then you have
a dangerous eruption such as pinatubo,El chichon, or Mt.st. Helens.
Step 1: Molten rocks, or magma,beneath the earth's
surface rise due to high pressure.
Step 2: Magma pushes itself upwards through the
cracks in the ear1h.
Step 3: Lava erupts from a volcano.
Step 4: Lava cools down and builds up outside the
volcano.
Step 5:A mountain forms.
The fierce volcano eruption may swallow and even destroy the large tracts of
land, burning a great number of lives and properly into ash. in the meantime, the
ash that the volcano has spouted is the best natural lertilizer. For example, the
mulberry tree grows up very well in Fuji Mountain and it is good for sericulture;
Grapes are rich and fruitful in the vesuvius volcano area. Further more, the
landscape in the volcano area is quite peculiar, which makes it become a tourist
attraction.
