Eighth graders research about different types of volcanoes. For this earth science lesson, 8th graders create PowerPoint presentation on the information gathered. They share findings with the class.

Students explore hazards associated with cataclysmic natural events, and human responses to them by creating emergency plans.

A multi-part lesson opens with a review of p waves and s waves. Then scholars use a simple s wave simulator to view the way the wave travels. Next, pupils use cups and various fluids to simulate p waves moving through different...

In this volcanoes worksheet, students look at maps and answer short answer questions about volcanoes, plate boundaries, and earthquakes. Students complete 4 questions.

Students explore how and where volcanoes form. They also explore how the interactions between oceanic and continental crust create volcanoes and other mountains and earthquakes in a simulation activity using cardboard of two thicknesses.

Young scholars study volcanoes. In this Earth science lesson plan, students read, discuss and take notes on the volcanoes of the Cascade Mountains. This lesson also includes an art project.

In this earth science instructional activity, students find the terms that are associated with a volcano and the answers are found at the bottom of the page.

In this earth science learning exercise, students find the words that are related to the study of volcanoes and the answers are found at the bottom of the page.

In this earth science worksheet, students find the words that are associated with geology and the answers are found with the link at the bottom of the page.

Students study the recent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  In this recent earthquakes lesson students complete an activity while working in groups.

In this earth science worksheet, students use the clues given at the bottom of the sheet to solve the crossword puzzle on mineral and rocks. They identify the various types of rocks formed and specific examples of these rocks.

Earthquakes, hurricanes, volcano eruptions, and more. To enrich their study of nature's big events, kids map tectonic plates and major earthquake locations, identify emergency response agencies, and storyboard a film about volcanos.

How do scientists provide evidence to support the theories they put forth? What clues do they put together to create these theories? After watching West of the West's documentary Island Rotation class members engage in a series of...

Students develop a basic understanding of volcanoes. They watch a PowerPoint Presentation which introduces three types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and composite volcanoes.

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...

In this volcano learning exercise, students identify various aspects of volcanoes including identifying the types of volcano, the types of lava, the types of eruption, the locations of the volcanoes and the slopes of the volcanoes.

In this volcano worksheet, students answer fourteen questions about the types of volcanoes, the types of magma and the types of lava. They label the parts of a volcano.

Fourth graders complete a WebQuest about volcanoes. They study vocabulary, label diagrams, list volcano types and benefits. They write an essay telling where volcanoes are located and why.

Students discover the inevitable threat of volcanoes as they identify the ring of fire. In this natural disasters instructional activity, students examine the tectonic plate theory and discuss how magma works it's way to the surface of...

Middle schoolers 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...
