For any educator planning a teaching unit/theme on volcanoes, this is the place for you! Links to a myriad of lesson plans, worksheets, bulletin board ideas, interactive sites, WebQuests, and much more are all found on this site.

Contains images, movies, panoramas, information, and history of the Mount St. Helens eruption (1980) as well information and images of the current state of the volcano.

This lesson will provide models or diagrams that explain how volcanic eruptions occur, and discuss their impact on living things. It is 2 of 5 in the series titled "Volcanoes."

Six-part interdisciplinary teaching packet. Through the story of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, young scholars will answer fundamental questions about volcanoes. By learning about volcanoes, students will understand that the...

Earth changes can happen quickly or slowly. The students will work in teams to stake a claim about these changes and then use texts to find evidence to prove their claims. Included in this lesson are video clips of the class, a list of...

In this lesson plan, students simulate volcanic explosions using liquids of varying viscosity, and learn about volcano and earthquake zones around the world.

For this lesson, students explore how the viscosity of lava affects the intensity of a volcanic eruption, and the resultant landforms that are created.

Students will be using live data about volcanoes and earthquakes to look for patterns and understand why natural disasters may or may not be able to be predicted. Resources include helpful websites, a video of the lesson in action,...

Students use a data set of ages of Hawaiian Volcanoes and seamounts and how far they are from the active volcanism, and then plot the data on a graph, and finally determine the plate velocity.

This site provides links to articles about natural disasters such as volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, floods, etc.

In this series of lessons, students use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) together with the tools and data from the North America Global GIS CD to investigate earthquakes, volcanoes, and population from a local to global scale....

This lesson explains the application of relative dating for volcanic features in the ocean, after which learners will identify which volcanic features are relatively older than others.
