Cool video of an Australian science teacher building a replica model of Mount Fuji for his Japanese exchange students.

The footage, shot in Sydney, Australia in March 2017, shows Jacob Strickling building the model with his children before doing a demonstration to his students.

"First came the smoke, courtesy of a smoke machine," Strickling wrote.

"Next came the lava. An electric pump was used to pump 6 litres of vinegar into a soapy bicarbonate solution in a 15 litre office drink bottle."

"Next an electric leaf blower was used to blow cooking flour out the top which was ignited using the flames from a gas torch."

"I did this six years ago, but unfortunately volcano mark 1 burnt to the ground, taking $400 worth of equipment. I had a fire extinguisher on hand this time just in case!" he added.

Our Australian school hosts Japanese exchange students every year. Tomorrow is their last day in the country. As they may be homesick, I thought I would build a giant Mt Fuji Volcano to erupt for them.
Jacob Strickling, creator of the YouTube Channel 'Make Science Fun' built the volcano at home with the help of his children,
He then set it up on the oval.
