Galt Horrible Science: Violent Volcano, volcanic eruption experiment kit, 8 years+

Galt Horrible Science: Violent Volcano is an experiment kit through which children build their own volcano and discover why volcanoes erupt. Designed to stimulate an interest in science, the kit allows children to assemble a plastic volcano model and trigger an eruption, while exploring geological phenomena and learning about survival in volcanic areas.

Children follow the instructions in the user guide to assemble the volcano structure. The landscape around the volcano can be decorated using the environment materials to create a realistic look. In the plastic cup, children add baking soda and a few drops of red food coloring, a mixture that simulates volcanic magma.

Once the volcano structure is complete and prepared, children pour vinegar into the plastic cup containing the baking soda and food coloring. The reaction between the baking soda and vinegar produces a spectacular effervescence, simulating a volcanic eruption. As the eruption occurs, users observe the chemical reaction and its effects in real-time.

The educational guide provides explanations of the chemical process and comparisons with real volcanic eruptions. The kit contains the plastic volcano model, baking soda, safety goggles, tartaric acid, mini cards, and the Horrible Info instruction leaflet. The product is recommended for children aged 8 and over.
