Lemon Volcano

This activity is for grades 2-12. Lemon volcanos are an easy way to make volcanos and observe chemical reactions at home! You will need 2 lemons per volcano, baking soda, a stirring stick, dish soap, and some food coloring.

With your lemons, slice the bottom of one so it lays flat and carve a hole in the top. Mush the lemon inside to bring in the juices to the middle. Add some food coloring to add some style to your lava. Then, add a squeeze some dish soap in your lemon. Once all of that is complete, you can add a spoonful of baking soda to the inside of your lemon and watch as it starts to fizz and bubble up. Add more lemon juice, soap, or baking soda if you’d like to keep the reaction going!
