What educators are saying

My kids really enjoyed building volcanoes this year! We tried different strategies to erupt them as well. Elephant toothpaste, mentos, baking soda, etc
This is exactly what I was looking for. This was a great resource for my students. They learned a lot about volcanoes and had so much fun doing it!

Description

Engage your students with this fun volcano activity! Get your students to research, design, and build their own erupting volcanoes!

In this activity students will choose their own volcano and then research their volcano, create a poster of their findings (or a google slide), and build a working model of their volcano using the Engineering Design Process. So much fun!

What's Included?

- Teacher Notes

- Student Directions (Includes link to an editable version to meet your students needs)

- Student Engineering Design Worksheet

This is a great way to bring some fun into your classroom. You can have students work in class or have them complete the activity as an at home project.

NGSSMS-ESS2-2
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales. Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at time and spatial scales that can be large (such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events. Examples of geoscience processes include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features, where appropriate.
NGSS5-ESS2-1
Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. Examples could include the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere. The geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system. Assessment is limited to the interactions of two systems at a time.
