| Learn about: volcano, lava, and rock formation |
Create a tasty treat to show how volcanic rock helped to form the earth. Materials: Chocolate fudge mix and ingredients listed on box; saucepan; 2 baking dishes; an adult as needed Procedure: 1. Have an adult help in the kitchen with the stove. Make the fudge mix as written on the package. As the fudge begins to boil, pour half of it into a baking dish. 2. Begin to stir the other half of the fudge mix for ten minutes as it begins to cool down. Pour this fudge that is cooled into the second baking dish. Now, explore! Observe the consistency of the mixtures... how it moves as you pour, what it looks like as you move the pan around as you pour, and what happens the surface of the baking pans. Now imagine Hawaii being covered with this mixture of "lava."
