What is it like to build an erupting volcano lab? Why is this home experiment easily among the most popular especially for school projects, conventions, and science fairs?
Post Body

I'm talking about the projects you often did for school when you were young were you create something shaped like a volcano and do some scientific process to make liqued explode from it resembling lava.

Basically something that kits like these would help you with.

Why are they so popular as a amateur DIY home experiment?

In uni my prof put a closed plastic bottle of liquid nitrogen inside a barrel filled with different weight and sized balls. The intention was to demonstrate the explosive fragmentation of magma and the ballistics by having us walk across the field to map out the distribution of the balls.

I don't think schools would be too happy with kids making a mortar for a science fair though.
