HOME - TASKS - RESOURCES - TEACHERS INFO Making a Model Volcano and Video During our lesson (lesson 4 in teacher info) students will create paper mache model volcano that resembles its real world counterpart. Leading up to this creative and interactive activities there will be three lessons teaching students about the geography behind volcano formation, the science behind the chemical reactions we will use to "erupt" our model volcanoes and one introducing and explaining the cameras and YouTube that will be used to film and upload video's of the volcano making process. At the end of the process students will erupt their volcanoes and then upload videos made throughout the process to the class You Tube channel (created by teacher), To carry out this project it is necessary for students to do basic research into the formation and location of volcanoes around the world as well as the products they produce and erupt with. It is necessary for all students to have a written record of all information collected during the 6 lesson cross curricular task about volcanoes(which may be expanded by writing stories, perhaps including the topic volcanoes in a song or play for presentation in a school assembly etc), The result product of the task will be reflected in the model volcano. The model Volcano will be is to be presented or "erupted" in front of the class at the end of the task.
 * Task **

The teacher will give an introduction in each lesson to inform on the theme and task being undertaken during the lesson. At the end of the entire task (all lessons) students will be required to submit a report or evaluation on the progress they felt they had in terms of learning, their enjoyment of the tasks and how they felt they did when asked to work in a group with others. The report should also include all research and information collected on volcanoes during the first lesson done on the geography of the volcano. For homework the teacher may set a task for students to do additional research, ask questions and share what they have learned each day with their peers and or families, all questions will be discussed and encouraged to be answered by the students in class the next day. within the set time frame all volcanos must be finished and erupted, all video's must be uploaded (minimum 3 per group) and all the research each group has found must be put together and submitted with referencing.
