Volcanoes are scary as well fascinating, aren't they? Have you ever created a volcano? That too, in your school project? Though there are several methods and many materials to create a volcano, here we give you a simple and easy way to create an active, erupting one with a film spool container, aluminum foil, soda, poster color, starch and water. The steps are described below -

Making Volcano

Step 1
Take a Film spool container and some aluminum foil. Crumple the aluminum foil and stick it around the film spool container with adhesive as shown in the picture. This will create the basic shape of your volcano.

Step 2
