Montessori Science Demonstration cards

AR and JV have reached the cards for the demonstration of a volcano.  The original Montessori lesson involved the use of noxious chemicals, so many years ago the old stand by of baking soda and vinegar became common.  As much as real explosions would have been very cool, I was interested in the children being able to do the demonstration on their own.

Here we go.
