Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of 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.
Review this page to learn about the background of volcanoes and their eruptions.
Students will describe the changes in a newly-formed volcanic island over the first three years of its life.
Global Phytoplankton Distribution Story Map
Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.
This story map lesson plan allows students to explore global phytoplankton distribution using chlorophyll concentration data in a 5 E-learning cycle. Students will investigate the processes that allow phytoplankton populations to thrive, as well as how their role in the carbon cycle impacts the other spheres of the Earth System.
