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."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Different types of eruptions create different types of volcanoes.

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....

While learning about volcanoes, magma and lava flows, students learn about the properties of liquid movement, coming to understand viscosity and other factors that increase and decrease liquid flow. They also learn about lava composition...

Study climate change with Google Earth, explore glaciers in the Himalayas, and learn how to avoid lava destroying a home in Hawaii with these three expert-developed lesson plans.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson students are given a brief description of a volcano and asked to identify the parts of the volcano.

Seven hands-on lessons module where students learn about our dynamic planet. These inquiry-based explorations investigate scientific models, earthquakes and seismic waves, Earth's interior, Earth movements, the lithosphere, plate...

This is a website not only on the mantle but also about all the layers of the earth.

Using the Hotspot Theory and Plate Velocities, students make comparisons between Hawaii and Samoa in an attempt to determine the volcanic origin of Samoa.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Supervolcanoes are unimaginably large volcanoes.
