Original Prompt

science investigation to do with making a volcano reaction. want to change one variable to see if we get the same reaction ie adding vinegar, juice, etc

This learning resource guides students in designing and conducting a controlled experiment aimed at understanding the reaction between baking soda and different acidic liquids. The objective is for students to explore how changing the type of acidic liquid influences the eruption strength. Students will identify independent (type of acidic liquid) and dependent variables (height or strength of eruption), formulate hypotheses, adhere to safety procedures, and carry out a systematic investigation. The resource includes materials needed, step-by-step procedures for conducting the experiment, and data collection templates to record observations. Additionally, students will analyze their results and discuss the scientific principles behind the reactions, including real-world connections to volcanic activity.
