Modeling Plate Tectonics and Volcanoes
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.
Villarrica Volcano Eruption
Grade Level: 6-8
Students use scale to determine the area of volcanic deposits following the March 3, 2015 eruption of Chile's Mount Villarrica stratovolcano, one of the country's most active volcanoes.
Mount Saint Helens Volcano
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Students categorize causes, effects, and responses to volcanic hazards through an Earth system perspective. They use remotely sensed images to examine the visible effects of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 and identify a buffer zone for safer locations for development.
Lava Layering: Making and Mapping a Volcano
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8
In this NASA-JPL lesson, students create a model of a volcano, produce and record lava flows, and interpret geologic history through volcano formation and excavation.
Which Eruption was Larger? A Data Expedition
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Use the Earth System Data Explorer to analyze data and make a claim about which 2018 eruption was larger, Kilauea, HI or Ambae Island, Vanuatu.
