Mark Wayne Lee Jr. invented the baking soda/vinegar volcano in 1978. As a 10-year old, he built the first volcano out of wire mesh and paper mache. He brought this model to Meadows Elementary School in Valencia, California and demonstrated the volcanic eruptions in front of several classes. He went on to obtain a Ph.D. in chemistry from UCLA and is now a Professor of Radiology and Chemistry at the University of Missouri.
