Blue Marble National Geographic Jumbo Volcano Science Kit - 18-inch Giant Eruption & Science Projects

Overview: A dramatic, hands-on science centerpiece

Blue Marble's National Geographic Jumbo Volcano Science Kit brings big science to life. Standing nearly two feet tall, this impressive volcano offers a tangible, immersive experience for curious learners, budding scientists, and science fair participants. The towering sculpture makes eruptions feel real, inviting observation, hypothesis-making, and creative experimentation in a playful yet thoughtful setting.

What makes this kit stand out

Designed with both excitement and education in mind, the kit emphasizes repeatable, colorful eruptions and easy assembly. The setup is approachable for young builders, while the striking result doubles as a memorable display piece for projects or demo days. Sensory details like the pliable plaster wrap, the smooth paint finish, and the crackling eruption powder add an extra layer of immersion that helps ideas come alive.

• Nearly 2 feet tall, providing a bold, eye-catching science center for desks, classrooms, or science fairs.
• Kid-friendly setup that walks you through layering plaster over the frame, adding color, and erupting again and again.

The kit ships with enough materials to support multiple eruptions and ongoing exploration. Eruptions come from three packets of eruption powder, plus pop crystals that introduce a crackling sound and a lively visual effect as the volcano releases its energy. Clear instructions also suggest ways to trigger eruptions from common household materials, sparking creativity and problem-solving as you test ideas.

• Three eruption powder packets and pop crystals for engaging, audible eruptions.
• Step-by-step guidance to extend experiments using everyday supplies.

Everything you need is included for a complete, self-contained project. The Jumbo Volcano kit comes with the volcano mold, plaster mix and tint, two paint colors, a paintbrush, and more. Genuine geode and pumice specimens are part of the hands-on discovery, offering tangible rocks to observe and compare as you build your understanding of geology.

Learning through hands-on play

Use this kit to store, paint, and re-erupt the volcano as you log observations, refine your hypotheses, and prepare a standout science fair display. The combination of building, painting, and erupting can support a wide range of activities—from basic geology demos to more advanced experiments on volcano behavior—without promising results, but with exciting possibilities for exploration and curiosity.

Blue Marble stands behind the quality and educational spirit of this product, backed by a U.S. support team ready to assist with setup, questions, and project planning.
