The Omnipresent Project




Little One is making the ever-present Science Project: a functional volcano. I was so pleased that she had the idea to make hers a cutaway version so the viewer can see what the inside of a volcano looks like. She wants to label the parts.

In 1964 when I had to make mine, it was an amorphous lump of brown paper mache with a tomato paste can in the top. I believe her idea is much more creative and educational, although the science teacher did not request this level of detail.

Fortunately Jody purloined a cigar tube from one of his co-workers a while back, thinking I would like it for holding beads or some other craft items. We cut it to size, and voila, the volcano has its vent.

Got to run for now, will post a few more pics later.
