Volcano!
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.

Are you ready to learn about volcanoes?! In this engaging lesson, students will identify the most common types of volcanoes, analyze how volcanoes are formed, share with groups to compare design ideas
Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
