Students research separate elements of the theory of Plate Tectonics, then share that information with each other, drawing conclusions from the culminated information.

Students explore first-person accounts of volcanic eruptions throughout time and use second-hand information about volcanoes. They use both types of accounts to write news articles covering the events of a historic volcanic eruption as...

Students research volcano hazards in VolcanoWorld, make a paper volcano, produce and watch the effects of ashfall, produce and watch the effects of a mudflow and create a hazard map by plotting historical ashfall/mudflow data from Mount...

Students examine the aftermath of a volcano. In groups, they participate in activities focusing on the impact on plants and animals. To end the instructional activity, they discuss the positives to the environment after a volcanic eruption.

Students make a volcano out of a soda bottle, flower, salt, oil, and more. In this volcanoes lesson plan, students also read about volcanoes.

In this understanding volcanoes activity, 4th graders use the KWL chart to write what they know, what they want to know and what they have learned about volcanoes.

Students build volcanoes. For this visual arts lesson, students use various materials to create paper model volcanoes.

In this literature vocabulary worksheet, students unscramble 11 words pertaining to this book. No word bank is provided. Knowledge of the book is implied.

Students research volcanoes, storms, atmospheric conditions, etc., find information and collect facts, create a simulation of a science news broadcast, watch a video clip of an avalanche, and create an artistic rendering of one naturally...

Students explore the layers of the Earth and the dynamic changes that they cause on Earth's surface. Volcanoes and earthquakes become the focus of the lesson as the Oregon State quarter and its Crater Lake images are linked to the topic.

Pupils explore volcanoes, locate them on maps, record general information about volcanoes, and organize information on a fact sheet.

Students prepare for a field trip to Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and exploration of Ape Cave (see also Ape Cave Exploration). In the absence of a field trip, students become acquainted with lava tubes in general.

Students simulate online the formation of Ape Cave, in order to better explain its construction. They observe, illustrate and discuss geological features of this lava tube.

Students observe a visual representation of a volcano erupting. They measure and sketch the volcano and discuss how engineers use this information. They discover the type of equipment used to indicate an eruption.

Students explore how volcanoes are formed, list the parts and characteristics of volcanoes, state the differences in various types of lava, and analyze the volume of ejecta from a volcano.

Young scholars ask a professional volcanologist a question online. This activity allows students to ask questions that they have chosen, and it makes scientists seem more personal to Young scholars.

Students compare and contrast the volcanoes of Earth and Mars, and examine specific volcanoes on Mars. They model the processes that create cone and shield volcanoes, and measure the slope angles of cone and shield volcanoes.

Pupils explore the most dangerous volcanoes on Earth, plot their locations, and research different volcanic hazards.

Students investigate how particle size affects the angle of a volcano's slope.

Students study the effects on the evolution of human culture from volcanic events worldwide.
