Today I had a little science experiment to explain how volcanoes work and what it looks like for a volcano to erupt. I preceded the experiment a skit version of the Pixar short "Lava". I translated the song into French for the campers to understand and sang as Sophie and Elaine morphed into magnificent volcanoes erupting, going into extinction, reawakening and falling deeply in love. The campers then made volcanoes in a convenient sand pit. Some decorated the volcanoes with some small flowers and vegetation. We then took vinegar, mixed with dish soap in a glass buried in the heart of the volcano and added baking soda for a nice lava eruption. The campers absolutely loved the volcanoes but I think they loved the skit more. (You can thank Elaine's goofy acting skills)
