Making and Mapping a Volcano: Lava Layering
In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a model of a volcano and produce lava flows. They will also observe, draw, record, and interpret the history and stratification of an unknown volcano produced by the students.
This engaging lesson allows students to make the connection between the life cycle of a volcano and why they see these features on Earth and Mars.
