Here is a demonstration of that classic science experiment we all know and love! Whether you first saw it watching a TV show or you were able to catch a glimpse in a school science fair, we are all familiar with the erupting volcano experiment. It is such a classic and a great one to support teaching in chemical reactions. Now we show you just how you can do it yourself, in the comfort of your own home and with recycled materials. This is perfect for keeping children of all ages engaged for hour

Volcanic eruptions are breathtaking—but with lightning, they become nature’s most electrifying spectacle! When a volcano erupts, it creates a plume, which is a mixture of hot volcanic ash, gas, and water vapour that is tightly packed together. As it ascends, tiny particles gain friction, which helps contribute to these lightning strikes. #EarthCapture at Volcán de Fuego, Guatemala by Danielle Herrera 📸 #volcano #lightning #naturephotography #science | BBC Earth
