2005 Submarine Ring of Fire Expedition: What's for Dinner?
Students compare and contrast photosynthesis and chemosynthesis as sources of primary production for biological communities, and describe sources of primary production observed in biological communities associated with volcanoes of the...
Curated OER
Natural Disasters
Learners work together in groups to travel throughout the room to different stations. They practice making different natural disasters at each station. They also examine fault lines and the supercontinent Pangaea.
Curated OER
It's a Gas! Or is it?
Students describe the effects of temperature and pressure on solubility of gases and other materials. In this investigative lesson students read an article and answer questions about it.

Mount St. Helens
In this volcano worksheet, students will read about the events that led to the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. Students will use this information to complete 3 short answer questions.
Curated OER
It's a Gas! Or is it?
Young scholars discover the principles of solubility and phase state and their influence on chemical phenomena observed around deep-sea volcanoes. They describe the effect of temperature and pressure on solubility of gasses and solid...
Curated OER
The Big Balancing Act
Students describe chemical changes occurring in hydrothermal circulation systems. They make inferences about the significance of these systems to ocean chemical balance compared to terrestrial runoff.
