Volcanoes!

Today we went out and erupted our volcanoes!
It was FUN!!!! Here are some things we learned: the smaller the volcano, the bigger the explosion!
Taller volcanoes took a longer time to erupt.  Today we erupted 6 volcanoes.  Check out the pictures below! Tomorrow we will erupt the remaining 6!

Fajjar, Ramsha and Alina's volcano erupted quickly because it was small!!!! Well Done!
