In this field geology activity, students will explore basaltic lava flows along the shoreline of Lake Superior, and begin to gain an understanding of the geologic story of Minnesota's North Shore. They will make observations about...

Students learn how volume, viscosity and slope are factors that affect the surface area that lava covers. Using clear transparency grids and liquid soap, students conduct experiments, make measurements and collect data. They also...

While learning about volcanoes, magma and lava flows, learners 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...

In this virtual field trip find out about how volcanoes are formed and what kind of destruction can they cause. Discover how volcanoes affect our environment and where can you find active volcanoes on earth and on other planets.

This site explains what a volcano is by looking at the features, types, and the location of volcanoes The site also looks at some case studies for further information.

Site from the U.S. Geological Survey provides a brief list of volcano terminology including descriptions as well as links to major menus.

Investigate volcanoes with this interactive site containing a virtual field trip and other activities.

A journey into the depths of a volcano teaches students about volcanic rocks, eruptions, features, and locations. Also find out how volcanologists monitor activity and conduct scientific research on eruptions.

Explanation of the factors that result in the formation of volcanoes, some basic but helpful animations and photographs.

This tutorial explains the rock cycle--from beginning to end! It is full of activities, assessments, games, slideshows and all kinds of interactive material. Learn what rocks are made of and how they change from one form to another....

A full-featured investigation of volcanoes that answers questions about our ability to predict eruptions. Site begins with a review of the fundamentals (defines lava, magma, and related terms and describes how volcanoes form) and then...

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of volcanoes.

This interactive from Annenberg Learner asks the question of whether erumptions of volcanoes can be predicted. Review what you already know about volcanoes, and move on to forecasting potential. Several short video clips are included as...

A slideshow, a karaoke song to sing along to, and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of igneous rocks, how they are formed, and some different types.

This lesson will provide models or diagrams that explain how volcanic eruptions occur, and discuss their impact on living things. It is 4 of 5 in the series titled "Volcanoes."

[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.
