What happens during an eruption? 
When the magma chamber fills up completely, it could explode or eject lava. When magma reaches the land, it is then called a lava.  It could also eject smoke or ash which can affect the atmosphere. It could also affect the people who are living close to the volcano. For example, the Pompeii Volcano exploded and ejected, the ash fall got into the village so fast that the people living in there just turned into stones.

It could also have different effects in different places such as earthquakes, tsunamis, climatic effects, famine and diseases, and more. These different casualties could possibly occur when a volcano erupted. Just like when Mt Pinatubo erupted, New Zealand had a snow about knee high so it could also affect different countries.

Building a Volcano

Equipment:
-Paper
-Tape
-Ice cream container lid/ carton
-Plastic Bottle
-Chemicals
-Flour Water
-Plaster
-Paint

Aim: To create an exploding volcano

Method:
-Put the bottle in the middle of the ice cream lid or the carton.
-Stick the bottle with sellotape.
-Put scrap paper around it to create the shape of the volcano then stick it in place with the sellotape.
-Put the paper into a mix of flour and water to create a paper mache then stick it to the scrap paper.
-Surround the paper mache with plaster so it can harden.
-Paint the volcano.
-Put the chemicals that can make a volcano explode.

Observation:
It didn't really work than we thought it would but it still exploded.
