My Final copy: This is the Volcano Of Colors!

When the baking soda hits the vinegar in the bottle, when the carbon dioxide gas in the baking soda hits the acid in the vinegar it causes it to rise and blow out of the bottle.

Nucleation is when the lumps on the surface of the candy mixes with the soda it starts to "melt" into the soda cause a "fountain" like explosion. media type="youtube" key="7J-5M5K4Xxg?fs=1" height="385" width="640" And I also made a "Cookbook" for my explosions.
