Volcano Experiments

To go along with our earthquake and volcano unit, we have been acting as volcanologists and completing volcano experiments in our classroom!

On Tropical Island Day we studied the various locations of volcanoes around the world to see if we can detect patterns of where volcanoes are located, such as in the Ring of Fire. We even made maps of our own! 

We also studied different types of lava to determine which kind of lava comes from shield and cone volcanoes.
