Volcano Eruption

Aim: To erupt the Volcano

Method: We used a scrap board and Tristan Brought a 1-litre bottle. We then stick the bottle into the cardboard. After that we cover the bottle with newspaper, forming the look of the Mayon Volcano. On the second day of science after the glue had dried, we then painted our volcano colour maroon as the first coat. After a few minutes, the brown paint had dried, and we now need to put the final coat which is the colour green. 

Research: Mayon, also known as Mount Mayon and Mayon Volcano, is an active stratovolcano in the province of Albay in Bicol Region, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Mayon Volcano last erupt in early January 2018. The myth of the creation of Mayon Volcano is as heated as the heart of the peak itself, with a plot involving star-crossed lovers, and a tragic ending leading to the rise of the jewel of Albay. Legend has it that a beautiful maiden, Magayon, lived in a place called Ibalon.

Results:

Discussion: Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma comes up to the surface. As the magma rises, bubbles of gas from inside it. Runny magma erupts through openings or vents in the earth's crust before flowing onto its surface as lava. If magma is thick, gas bubbles cannot easily escape and pressure builds up as the magma rises.

Conclusion: Yes, Our Volcano erupted and I personally thought it was the best because it went higher then the rest and it just shot up.
