Volcano!
by Sarah Bailey
In this lesson, students will read about volcanoes (using teacher chosen books and Readworks.org passages) as well as watch videos to see them in real life. They will then create their own volcano and make it erupt three times to see new land forming. They will record changes to the land by cutting and measuring paper based on where the lava flowed. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy way to create volcanoes which students are really interested in.
