4 days in a row revealing the secret life of volcanoes from a geological perspective. Lava is an extrusive igneous rock, but so is ash and pumice. We also look at famous volcanic eruptions and look at what happens inside and below volcanoes
Class experience
Welcome to my 4 Day Summer Camp on "The Geology of Volcanoes" Here we spend 4 consecutive days revealing the secrets of volcanoes. We look at the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks and study extrusive rocks like lava, ash and pumice. We look inside and underneath volcanoes to see how they work and tour the globe looking at famous volcanoes and volcanic eruptions. Classes will be in a lecture style using multi-media PowerPoint slides with opportunities for questions. We...
After the class the student will have a good understanding about igneous rocks, volcanoes and global volcanic events.
I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics (and a PhD in Philosophy) and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences.
Structured lecture classes, so participation optional, relieves anxiety Mixed media slides for different learning styles Engaging topics keeps attention Slides can be seen before class
No previous experience required but please note this is not a basic class, so younger students may find it more challenging unless they are already very keen on this subject.
Some classes talk about Global Warming and Climate Change causing more frequent natural disasters. It also talks about mass extinctions including the possibility of humans causing one now (including ourselves) and has some drawn images of animals dying to become fossils. It is delivered in a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy), but the more sensative students may find these topics distressing.
