Art of Science: DIY Lava Flow

Recently, I read an article about a DIY lava flow that was conducted by the Syracuse Art and Science Professors at the University of Syracuse. This man made DIY project was conducted at the parking lot and proved to be an effective project. Personally, being able to see this in person would be a great benefit. Having taken a geology course in the past, I realized that having to memorize igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks was less exciting compared to witnessing a lava flow.  The combination of science and art to create a DIY lava flow is an outstanding influence towards geology, technology and visual aesthetics.

    This is awesome. Super cool. Can you embed the video into your blog? You should be able to take the "embed code" from the Vimeo video and input it into the Blogger HTML portion -- or they may have an interface built in for video embedding...
