Group Research Project:
Research a volcano in the Ring of Fire or in the Hawaiian Islands. Tomorrow, we will be creating a cross section of this volcano with clay and paint. You should be able to demonstrate the relative thickness of the earth's core, mantle and crust; how the volcano was formed; and what type of eruption might occur. Bring with you the graphic organizer with the labeled volcano parts.1

An Eye-Witness Account Research Project
Choose a famous volcanic eruption that has happened in the past and research the eruption. Visit the United States Geological Survey web site to find out about present day and past volcanic eruptions (www.usgs.gov).
Write a letter to a local newspaper from the point of view of an eye-witness who survived the eruption. In your letter include details about what happened before, during and after the eruption. You should include the type of volcano, the type of lava you witnessed during the eruption. Also, include information about the damage and destruction caused by the volcano. Finally, your letter should include the environmental impact that the eruption had. How far around the world was the impact felt? In order to capture the reader’s attention, make you letter as personal and captivating as possible. Include pictures or drawings of the volcano before, during, and after the eruption.
This research project is worth 10 points, and is due on 2/17.
