Young geologists explore volcanoes with a series of engaging geology activities. First, they learn the difference between magma and lava before coloring and labeling the parts of a volcano. During the lab, individuals watch a...

Students explore and analyze what's inside the crater of an active volcano. They research the history of powerful eruptions and how they have helped to make our planet what it is today. Each student then illustrates, designs and...

Students identify the volume of cones and pyramids. In this geometry lesson, students derive the formula for cones and pyramids. They calculate the volume of cones and other three dimensional shapes.

Did you know there are 20 volcanoes erupting at any given time? Pupils look at various igneous rocks, read local geologic maps, and determine if their area has a history of volcanic activity. A reading passage and analysis questions...

A 22-slide set provides pretty much everything you need to teach the rock cycle except the actual specimens. All of the slides contain graphics or photographs to help describe the process, and most even have links to educational videos....

Earth science learners create a two-dimensional topographic map of the floor of the Aegean Sea. They use it to then create a three-dimensional model of the ocean floor features. This comprehensive resource delivers strong background...

In this volcano worksheet, students are given five pictures of volcanoes and descriptions of each. They determine what type of volcano each is and how they determined their answers.

Young geologists discover the important role that rocks and minerals play in our everyday lives through this series of hands-on activities. Starting off with a lesson that defines the difference between plants, animals, and...

In this volcano worksheet, students fill in a chart with sketches of the three causes of volcanoes, the type of lava from each, a description and any features of each and examples of each.

Young geologists piece together the puzzle of plate tectonics in an earth science lesson. Given a physical map of the world, they search for land formations that indicate the location of different types of plate boundaries.

In this types of rocks activity, students read about igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. They complete a chart about the three types of rocks and use the information from the reading to determine the origin of their...

In this volcano activity, students construct the three types of volcanoes using two colors of play dough. They answer questions about their models and answer specific questions about each type of volcano.

In this volcanoes worksheet, learners unscramble the three types of volcanoes given eighteen boxes with letters that make up the words cinder cone, shield and composite

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

The best part about teaching guides is all the great information you can use to inform your class. They infer what type of boundary exists between two tectonic plates. Then, using given information on earthquakes and volcanism they'll...

Excite classes with a STEM project-based learning lesson covering chemical reactions. Groups study the different types through simulations and hands-on activities. They pick one type (synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double...

Students investigate volcanoes. In this landforms lesson, students locate two volcanoes on a world map. Students compare and contrast the types of volcanoes by using various Internet sites.

Young scholars explore ways scientists prepare for a volcanic eruption. They observe films of earthquakes, oil spills, volcanoes and hurricanes. Students perform activities to demonstrate the relationship of viscosity to lava flow. ...

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...

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

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

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...
