Students use the research the different types of Volcanoes.  In this Earth Science lesson plan, students use provided websites to collect information about volcanoes. They work in pairs to review the different types of volcanoes and...

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

Did you know there are 20 volcanoes erupting at any given time? Pupils look at various igneous rocks, read local geologic maps, and determine if their area has a history of volcanic activity. A reading passage and analysis questions...

Students investigate volcanoes. In this landforms lesson, students locate two volcanoes on a world map. Students compare and contrast the types of volcanoes by using various Internet sites.

High schoolers 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.

Young scholars use a digital atlas, geologic maps, and topography maps to explore geologic regions of Yellow Stone National Park. They locate evidence that support the theory of hot spots. Students research and explore the movements of...

Students research island formation, plot locations on a map and make an analysis of why some islands are formed where they are.
