Forty-five states and territories in the USA are at moderate to very high risk of earthquakes. The discussion-based lesson plan covers what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. The 14th lesson plan in the series includes...

Japan is one of only a handful of countries that constructs buildings that are almost earthquake proof. The 13th lesson in the 20-part series challenges scholars to build structures to test against earthquakes. With limited materials and...

Fourth graders observe and identify the effects of geological activities and weathering on Earth's surface. They also take a look at reports of events such as storms, earthquakes, floods, and volcanoes. There is a hefty hands-on activity...

Seismologists use the direction and arrival times of p waves and s waves to determine the distance to the source of an earthquake. The engaging lesson has students line up to form human waves. Through different movements when attached,...

Students apply central tendencies to given data. In this statistics instructional activity, students calculate the mean, median, and mode as it relates to their data. They collect data and graph it while identifying the way the numbers...

Plumb the depths of the Submarine Ring of Fire and explore seismic waves with this instructional activity. Junior geologists simulate s-waves and p-waves, calculate their speeds, and then apply the data to discover the material that...

In this earthquake and volcano worksheet, students will write down what causes earthquakes and volcanoes to form and how these events are related to one another. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

First graders draw an erupting volcano. They learn the components of an erupting volcano.

Second graders draw and compare parts of volcano. They investigate parts of a volcano and distinguish between magma and lava.

Second graders create analogs for lava and magma in experiments.

In this volcano worksheet, learners study a diagram of an erupting volcano and then label all the parts of the erupting volcano shown.

In this volcano vocabulary worksheet, students match vocabulary words on the left with definitions on the right. Worksheet is labeled as a quiz but may be used as practice or review.

Students study the properties of volcanoes and earthquakes.  In this earthquakes and volcanoes lesson students write a story on what they did during their experiment. 

Sixth graders investigate earthquakes and volcanoes. They demonstrate fault lines with a folded piece of paper, conduct an erosion experiment, and construct a volcano using clay, baking soda and vinegar.

Students view a teacher created PowerPoint on the different types of volcanoes and complete a worksheet identifying the different types of volcanoes. They access the Internet to research a specific type of volcano. They create a...
