E N D
In your book or on piece of paper • Could a volcano erupt in a field near here? • What materials/effects are produced from a volcano? • How would a single volcano effect the world?
Goal of lab Students will read an account of a volcanic eruption and prepare a white board presentation which they will present to the class. During the presentations, the rest of the class will note specific information to complete a chart. Students will look for patterns and differences among the volcanoes
Goal to today • To read the first hand accounts of eruptions about a number of different volcanoes • As a group: be able to extract important information about the eruption, organize it intelligently, and present it on a white board in a neat manner • Each student then reads all boards and uses the information to complete chart and plot volcanoes on own map
Procedure • Divide class into 7 or eight groups, each concentrating on the eyewitness accounts of the volcanic eruption of a specific volcano • As students read the accounts, they are to gather information about: • the location of the volcano • its date(s) of eruption • the types of materials emitted during the eruption • the damage caused • the range of the damage.
Group responsibility • Divide up all reading equally between members of each group • Each member reads the article and gathers important information • Group discusses information and determines what will be presented
Information needed • Volcano’s name • Date of eruption • Location (country) • Types of materials emitted during the eruption • Damage caused and range of damage • Anything else that further describes the eruption
Procedure (Continued) 3. Discuss the information with your group. 4. Each group needs to prepare a white board presentation to share the information you have gathered about this particular volcano. 5. Present your White board to the class. Be ready to explain any fact or picture you place on the board (Neatness counts)
White board • Each group has about 20 minutes to read and discuss • Whiteboards must be completed with 15 minutes left in class and placed around room • Each student will walk around the room and gather info until bell • Whiteboard must then be cleaned before leaving room
Wrap up • Each person (Not Group) is to gather information from all groups whiteboards in order to complete the chart and locate the volcanoes on their map.
Discussion questions • Is there any similarity in the locations of the volcanoes? • Which volcanoes had the widest ranging effects? • What things were described to have been emitted by any of the volcanoes? • Does every volcano emit the exact same things?
Discussion Questions 5. What effects did these eruptions have on the surrounding life? Be specific in your description 6. What effects did these volcanoes have on the nearby rivers, lakes and streams? 7. What effects did these volcanoes have on the atmosphere? 8. What effects did these volcanoes have on the local ground?
