My kids loved this experiment! I had a lot of WOW's. Everyone enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you!! I appreciate the ease of getting the materials together, and they model really helped them see why the volcanoes explode differently! They went into it with a misconception of doing the "vinegar" experiment they all know to knew learning and understanding.
I loved the interactive component to work with the video and that the supplies for the experiments and the worksheets were easy to find and work with. The answers to the assessment questions were well written and the answers having both easy and complex answers helped grade!
Love this so far! Some of them managed it! They worked better in pairs this time, too, something we've work on all year. The content is very engaging, which seems to promote the cooperation and exchange of ideas. I learned volcanoes can explode in space. We liked seeing the difference between what Mt. Helen looked looked like before and after the explosion. I learned how rocks get moved from one place to another. However, the ending video really helped clarify and answer their questions.
Good learning experiment! Many said they'd continue experimenting at home, which this teacher loves to hear. It was fun blowing bubbles into them. It was really informative and fun! It ios so much fun for the kids and for myself. These lessons are so amazing. Love this way of teaching!! I love how interactive it is and there is hardly any prep work on the teacher!
My kids were engaged and loved every minute of it! Quick and easy items to prep. Observations and Analysis done by students. Great directions and assessment provided within lesson. Exciting video to draw in students's attention. Made the activity purposeful. They couldn't wait for more! We even did a research project based on a volcano of their choice.
They used information they learned about in their reports like cone and shield volcanoes. The kids remembered these terms. They loved seeing the "lava" They could totally understand how the the different volcanoes were formed based on their type of lava. I look forward to seeing their assessments and seeing how well they retained the information.
There is no comparison to anything I've been using before. The kids were so amazed by it that you could literally see the light bulb on top of their heads. I was thankful for the video that demonstrated the most efficient way to make the lava.
I also appreciate all of the visuals, videos and slides. The students enjoy the "find a partner" slides. I look forward to my next mystery! My kids were completely engrossed and the experiment was simple enough for even me to do! It's so easy for me to sue.
I can just follow along. I love how the experiments are shown step by step. They made reasonable predictions from the experiment based on what they learned. And of course, they loved the idea that this was messy. They were so engaged! Also, the materials were very simple and inexpensive! It came together beautifully. If aeroplanes travel through an ash cloud from a volcano it can cause a lot of damage to the engine.
Other explosive eruptions create fast-moving, hot clouds of volcanic ash, gas and rocks that travel down the sides of the volcanoes and destroy pretty much everything in their path.
Despite the great damage they can cause, volcanoes also help us to live. Volcanic ash provides food for the soil around volcanoes which helps us grow plants to eat.

What are the different types of volcano? There are three main types of volcano. A shield volcano has a flat dome-like appearance and releases basaltic lava in a gentle manner that is often slow and easy for humans to outrun.
A stratovolcano has the classic cone shape and releases andesitic magma. It produces violent large eruptions and often leads to pyroclastic flows and mudflows. The active Mount Agung volcano in Bali falls under this category.
A caldera volcano has a circular basin-shaped appearance and releases thick rhyolotic lava which is between to degrees Celsius. Its shape is due to the magnitude of its eruptions, which cause the magma chamber walls to collapse.
