Volcano Part II

After all the talk about making a volcano, Bill wanted to try a Mr. Wizard moment at home with the girls. It was so cool - he pulled a Macgyver maneuver, finding all the necessary components to make a mini-volcano. Dixie cup upside down, paper on the base, tape around the base (Scotch of course), baking soda (or as Lauren calls it Bakin' soda...she is a Texan), food coloring, and vinegar. We were a little unsure about the vinegar because we only had the fancy apple cider vinegar and didn't know if it had to be the plain old white distilled vinegar...and no it doesn't matter.
Lauren wanted a red volcano and Emma wanted an orange one. They poured the vinegar in and watched all the bubbles pour out. It was really fun.
