Ambury Farm Trip


The Ambury Farm scientist is showing us how lava flows from a volcano after an eruption. She used baking soda and vinegar mixed with coke which acted like a volcano. We really enjoyed this experiment.

Here we are sitting in the barn learning about how New Zealand is on a major fault line. We learnt what to do if there was a volcanic eruption in Auckland.


We went down into a very dark lava cave. We had to wear yellow safety helmets because the entrance down into the cave was very narrow. It was so dark in the cave and a little frightening. The cave was made after Mount Mangere erupted.
