12 Build a model of a volcano and put on your table. Write a description on your post it note and stick it on the board.

13 13 Homework Choose an active volcano (or at least one that has erupted in the last 20 years or so) Find out its name and where it is – I will send you a world map to move a X to the right spot. Find out which sort of volcano it is – shield, composite or cinder cone Find out 4 other things about it

14 14 Suggestions for your other 4 things A picture of your volcano Geographic setting: – Is it on an island or in a mountain range? – Is it near towns or cities or is it isolated When did your volcano last erupt? – what do you know about it? – Was the eruption hazardous to people? What happened? If the volcano erupts again, what are the possible hazards? Does it pose a threat now? What are 2 cool facts about your volcano? What is a question you still have about your volcano?
