Students study Mount Ranier and its activity as a volcano.  In this investigative lesson students locate cities around Mount Ranier and complete an activity. 

Students watch a demonstration on how volcanoes work. In this volcano demonstration, students watch the teacher demonstrate a volcanic eruption. The teacher will change variables used to create the eruption and the students will predict...

Learners study the Mount St. Helens eruption and how it occurred.  For this experimental lesson students complete a lab that shows the eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Students examine how all mountains are not volcanoes by dramatizing how volcanoes erupt.

Students observe how lava flows from a volcano by watching the teacher create a mini volcano with shaving cream.

Students learn the different shapes of Volcanoes and discuss why volcanoes only have a few shapes.

Second graders discover volcanoes that occur around the world. They identifying volcano parts.

Students study volcanoes including rock fragments, ash, aerosols and gases.  In this volcano lesson plan students divide into groups and build models of the three major types of volcanoes. 

Students describe the properties of volcanoes, and explain why volcanoes are important to the environment.

Young scholars explore volcanoes. In this science lesson, students discuss the characteristics of volcanoes and view a video segment about a volcano. Young scholars examine plate tectonics.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students read a short passage on volcanoes erupting and then answer 4 reading comprehension questions.

Young scholars explore the formation of volcanoes. In this earth science instructional activity, students build their own volcanoes in the lab using different materials. They identify the different types of volcanoes.

Students make a volcano out of a soda bottle, flower, salt, oil, and more. In this volcanoes lesson plan, students also read about volcanoes.

High schoolers explore volcanoes, locate them on maps, record general information about volcanoes, and organize information on a fact sheet.

In this volcanic eruption learning exercise, students will read descriptive information about four types of volcanic eruptions: Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian, and Pelcean. Then students will identify 4 figures of eruptions as one of...

Students study the different types of volcanoes and how they erupt.  In this volcano lesson plan students identify where volcanoes are most prevalent and options for predicting eruptions. 

Young scholars examine how scientists monitor volcanoes.  In this volcano lesson students complete several activities including why we see things when using satellites.

Students conduct an experiment simulating an underwater volcano based on reading The Magic School Bus Blows Its Top. They create a desktop volcano eruption demonstrating where magma comes from and how lava flows.

In this aerosol worksheet, students are given data for volcanic eruptions and the average temperatures of the Earth. They determine the change in temperature from the year of the eruption to the present year and use the means to...

Students discover the major characteristics of volcanoes on the Pacific Ring of Fire. They describe the processes that produce the "Submarine Ring of Fire." students explain the factors that contribute to explosive volcanic eruptions.

Learners examine how volcanic eruptions affect global climate. They listen to first-hand accounts of the effects of a large volcanic eruption and illustrate a landscape to show understanding. They experiment with the loss of light and...

For this earth science worksheet, learners read and study about divergent and convergent boundaries, tectonic plates and volcanoes to complete 1 data chart 7 short answer questions.

Fifth graders conduct an experiment to demonstrate the folding and rippling of rock to form a mountain. They identify mountain chains on a map, participate in the demonstrations, and define folding fault block, igneous eruptions, igneous...

Students explore volcanic eruptions. For this science lesson, students discuss the Volcanic Explosivity Index. Students use information from the index to answer questions.
