1Reminder
This is the start of your independent study project on Volcanoes! Make sure you are keeping track of your notes, looking for big ideas, and thinking of ways to present your information to the class. One of the things you need to focus on is detail! While it is always fun to create an erupting volcano- without an explanation of the inner workings of a volcano and the forces that are used to create the volcano, all you have demonstrated is that baking soda reacts with vinegar. Take your time and be creative! Remember to focus on the details!
