Students build models of the three major types of volcanoes and see how a volcano's shape is related to the type of material it erupts. As a class, they observe a demonstration that simulates the nature of two volcanic materials: lava...

Heat things up in your earth science class with this collaborative lesson on volcanoes. After first being introduced to the different types of volcanoes and how they are formed, young geologists work in small groups to...

High schoolers identify the volume of cones and pyramids. In this geometry activity, students derive the formula for cones and pyramids. They calculate the volume of cones and other three dimensional shapes.

Students make cookies to predict and identify the three types of volcanoes: Cinder Cone, Composite, or Shield. They shape a walnut-sized piece into a volcano and place on a cookie sheet.

Pupils observe how lava flows from a volcano by watching the teacher create a mini volcano with shaving cream.

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

Learners build a salt dough volcano. They the salt dough using the following ingredients: flour, salt, and water. Students mix flour and salt in a container and add water and mix until the dough is smooth. They then make the volcano....

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.

Students sketch cones and identify its properties. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area and volume of each three dimensional shape. they define and sketch prisms, pyramids and cylinders.

Students engage in a lesson plan in which volcanoes be explored and examined. After watching a video, students create volcanoes out of clay.

Learners build a volcano model on tag board. They add lava and ash layers simulating the process that builds a real strato volcano cone.

Unlike a volcano, the lesson won't blow up in your face. Young mathematicians use dried beans to discover the relationship between the volumes of cones and cylinders and to write a formula for the volume of a cone. They then research...

Students compile information on volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens.  In this earth science lesson, students use the information they gathered on Mount St. Helens to answer questions and create charts in Excel.  Then students...

Students differentiate between the two types of igneous rock and designate the area the rock comes from.

Students begin the lesson by locating Tanzania on a world map. While reading an article, they note what the author's opinion is of the people who live there and discover the connection the people have with the land. They examine the...
