This document provides instructions for constructing a model volcano and simulating its eruption. Materials needed include laboratory board, pulp molding, sand, plants, paints, potassium dichromate, and matches. To make the volcano, shape the folder into a cone, paint it, and place it on the board while decorating with plants to simulate the landscape. To simulate an explosive eruption, place potassium dichromate and matches in a bowl, light a match and put it in to burn along with the other matches, simulating the eruption.

2. • Material:
• Laboratory board, pulp molding, sand, plants,
paints, potassium dichromate and matches.
• Procedure:
• Shape the folder up to obtain the form of a
volcanic cone with steep slopes, then paint the
volcano and put it on the board . Decorate it to
simulate a natural landscape.
• To simulate an eruption of explosive type, place
one teaspoon of potassium dichromate and several
heads of matches in a bowl. Light a match and put
it into the bowl. It will burn along with the other
matches and the dichromate simulating the
eruption.
