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.
The Solar Eclipse Implementation Sequence provides a series of lesson plans for students to learn about solar eclipses.
