How to Make a Geyser | Earth Science
Geology is one of my favorite sciences. We are using the book Mountains and Volcanoes by Barbara Taylor as inspiration and today we are going to make a geyser.
You can find the complete list of materials we used for this unit, including pictures, links and descriptions of each book or kit, videos, resources and more at the blog post that accompanies this video:

I made a geyser based on the instructions is the book several years ago and it worked! Today I'll make another one for this tutorial and sadly it won't work :(
I'm not sure why the second one didn't work. Maybe the pin-hole was too small, maybe there was an air leak or maybe a straw isn't the right material. I do know that the wax began to melt and drip into the water at which point I took it out of the warm water bath.
Supplies:
Glass jar with lid
Straw or glass pipette
Hammer and nail
Food coloring
Bowl of hot water
Wax or clay to seal cracks
Duration: 30 minutes
Cost: Less than $2
Grade level: All
