Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(9)
In this 4-week class, students will learn about plate tectonics and how it is related to volcanoes, the three major types of volcanoes, and will build their own volcano to erupt.
Class experience
US Grade 3 - 5
In this multi-day class, learners will be introduced to the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanoes. Class will begin by exploring Earth's four main layers, the role of Earth's crust and mantle in plate tectonics, and how all of this relates to volcanoes. By becoming aware of the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanism, learners will gain a greater understanding of how volcanoes form, where they occur, and how they occur in recognizable patterns on Earth's surface near...
Learners will gain a greater understanding of the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanoes. Learners will recognize volcanoes occur in patterns and bands on Earth's surface that are often along the boundaries between continents and oceans. Maps will help learners locate different features associated with different types of plate boundaries, such as volcanoes and mid-ocean ridges.
My Bachelor's of Science degree in Geology, my professional experience working as a Geologist, and my 8 years of teaching science qualify me to teach topics covered in this class.
Homework Offered
During Week 4 of the class, students will be building and erupting their own volcanoes. Each learner will build their own volcano. Learners will need to have their materials ready prior to our Week 4 class meeting so they are prepared to build their volcano when class starts.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Baking soda Vinegar Foil Plastic Bottle (with a wide mouth, like a sports drink bottle) Plate Dish soap Plastic shopping bag (2 - 3 bags) Pan or cookie sheet with at least 1" sides Food coloring (red to simulate lava, but any color will work) Tape
For this class we will be using Pear Deck. Pear Deck is an add-on tool that helps to make presentations more engaging and interactive. Students will need to access the class Pear Deck presentation by visiting www.JoinPD.com. From there, students will be asked to log in using a "join code" provided by me. This ensures a safe and secure online learning environment because only students with the specific "join code" will be able to access the presentation.
