Pour 2 teaspoons vinegar in the volcano.
Homemade Volcano Video
The mixture of the baking soda and vinegar forms a gas that raises
up and out of the volcano.
We use baking soda in cooking, such as baking cakes and cookies. The
baking soda makes baked goods rise because the bubbles burst
in the heat.
You don't need to make a volcano to do this experiment, it just
makes it more fun. You can just use a glass placed in a bowl as
your volcano.
