Young scholars investigate where volcanos come from. In this volcano lesson, students watch videos do Internet research and participate in experiments to discover the cause of volcanos.

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

In this geology learning exercise, 10th graders locate thirty-six terms about earthquakes and volcanoes in a word search. Answers to the word search are available in various formats.

The name itself may have your scholars' heads spinning: Eyjafjallajökull. Its recent volcanic eruption spurred many political cartoons on unrelated topics- using an analysis handout scholars examine the use of metaphor in 2 cartoons...

When middle school earth science classes are covering volcanoes, they can cut out and construct a miniature model of a stratovolcano and its surrounding town. From the town side, the external features of the volcano appear. On the...

A remotely operated vehicle approaching a volcano was engulfed by molten sulfur where the plumes of fluids contained the highest concentrations of aluminum ever recorded. This isn't science fiction or an April fools joke, though it did...

The Sierra Mountains in Nevada and the Tetons in Wyoming originally formed as fault block mountains. In order to visualize these fault blocks, pupils use construction paper to create layers of earth. They cut the paper models and form...

In this volcanoes instructional activity, middle schoolers visit a given website and complete 15 fill in the blank questions about volcanoes all over the world.

In these volcano worksheets, 3rd graders will be guided through the process of completing a report on volcanoes. With three questions, writing prompts, and a KWL chart, students will write a final report on what they have learned.

In this Volcano Shapebook worksheet, students write information about volcanoes in a volcano-shaped book. Examples include listing types of volcanoes and effects of volcanic eruptions.

Students react to statements about volcanoes, then read a news article about scientists monitoring eruptions at Augustine volcano in Alaska. For this earth science and current events lesson, the teacher introduces the lesson with a...

In this volcano activity, students make a "foldable" for the three types of volcanoes. They identify the volcano types, the type of lava, the type of eruption, the location of the volcano and the slope on one of three cards in the...

Students explore volcanoes.  In this cross curricula lesson, students use the Internet to investigate volcanoes.  The series of six lesson guides the students in their search for information, thus building research...

Learners collect and plot data, then interpret the results and answer questions about the geologic causes and the human effects of volcanic eruption. They participate in a role-play activity and a virtual field trip, as well.

Students research volcanoes and then build one out of salt dough. Before the final step is completed, they find main ideas about volcanoes, write sequential steps to building, use correct grammar, to gain knowledge about them. There is...

Students use a contour map to distinguish the elevation of a volcano.  In this volcano instructional activity, students use styrofoam to create the contour of their map.  Students glue and assemble their volcano. ...

Students view a video clip on volcanoes. They work together to discover the concept of sine waves. They plot points on a chart and connect them to create the complex wave. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

Students develop problem solving techniques through movement. They coming to PE class, are told that a giant volcano has erupted and there is hot lava everywhere. They need to get to island (tumbling mat or mats) on other side of playing...

In this science worksheet, learners use basic scientific concepts to complete the series of puzzles that are intended to acquire and review vocabulary about volcanoes.

Students examine the process of tectonic plates and why the Mariana Arc is active with volcanoes. They create a model of the Mariana Arc out of clay.

Students examine the formation of seamounts in the Gulf of Alaska. In this seamount lesson, student focus on how the Axial-Cobb-Eikelberg-Patton chain was formed. They learn the associated vocabulary, and watch a teacher demonstration of...

Students discuss how organisms relate to one another. They work together to research a specific organism and how it relates to other organisms. They present their findings to the class.
