I love an art and science mash-up! Kids used air-dry clay to create their own volcanoes by building "up" (an additive sculpture technique). We talked about structure and strength. Clay was rolled, pinched, squeezed, pressed, smushed and squashed. What great vocabulary building words and hand-strengthening practice to improve dexterity! Then, we combined baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring to make fizzing volcanic eruptions!
