      hi Edward,
      i love doing experiments with students about volcanoes. We recreate magma chambers using wax, eruptions using liquid nitrogen and pyroclastic density currents using salty water and dye!
      have a look at my youtube channel for some videos of experiments we do. My favourite at the.moment is the Thermite Volcano where i make lava.
