How to Make a Volcano

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

It's about to blow! These directions are clear and easy to follow. Create a simple worksheet to guide students through the video and then have them repeat the steps themselves! Ideal for fourth or fifth graders who can follow directions. Make it a little more exciting for your class by providing small toys they can put on their volcano that will slide down with the lava!
