Little Star Homeschool

"Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each." Plato

While we were in town Robert spotted the Horrible Science Violent Volcanoes Kit, after the success of the Digestion Kit we were keen to see what other messes we could make in the name of science.


The Horrible Science Violent Volcano Kit in action

We had already watched 10 Things You Didn't Know About Volcanoes on TV. Iain Stewart revealed some interesting but little-known scientific facts about volcanoes. Volcanic eruptions are among the most destructive and deadly events in nature. But there is far more to volcanoes than death and destruction - without volcanoes our planet would be a very different place, lacking not only an atmosphere but also life itself. We saw some amazing 300 MPH pyroclastic flows, ash falling as rain and giant lava fountains.
