Description
Bring earth science to life with a dramatic volcanic eruption—complete with glowing lava. First, kids build and paint a 14-inch model volcano using the included base, structure, and plaster strips. Then, with safe household ingredients, they can trigger eruptions, watching "lava" flow down the slopes in the dark.
Along the way, budding geologists learn about types of volcanoes and what causes real eruptions. The kit echoes the explosive geology displays at the National Museum of Natural History, where volcanoes help tell the story of Earth's restless surface.
Now in updated packaging—same hands-on STEM activities inside!
