Questions Could a volcano pop up where you live?

Activity 1. In this Mystery, students explore the past and present pattern

of where volcanoes exist on the earth. In the activity, Mapping

Volcanoes, students plot volcano locations on a world map and

look for patterns. Students analyze these maps to discover that

volcanoes form a “Ring of Fire” around the Pacific Ocean. Watch

mystery and answer questions as you go.

2. This week in science we will start our unit on geology which we’re

calling “The Birth of Rocks.” We will learn about volcanoes and

where they exist in the world. Below I’ve included a link to some

amazing pictures of active volcanoes. Show these to your child;

it’s guaranteed to be a conversation starter about what they

learned!

volcanic-activity/100873/

4. Experiment: Do the experiment taking pictures as you go if you

have the equipment. Follow the mystery with the instructions of

the activity. If you need to improvise please do. You need:

colored pencils, handouts

5. Students can work on their own, but will need to complete all

four parts of the Volcano Map so that they can analyze the

global volcano pattern.

6. You will need enough wall space to display the completed maps.

There will be one map for every 8 students, so a class of 32

students will have 4 completed maps. Each complete map

measures approximately 22” x 17”.

7. Prepare Volcano Discoveries Printouts

8. Cut each Volcano Discoveries printout in half to make two

worksheets. Each student needs a half sheet for the activity.

9. Complete activity with video.

10. Complete assessment Tasks: Wednesday Must Do

Video StemScopes: Content Connections Video-Danxia Landforms. Log onto

StemScopes through the Student Applications. Go to Assignments. Click

on Content Connections Video-Danxia Landforms. Watch video and

pause when it asks you questions and discuss the answers.

Questions How are landforms formed?

Activity 1. Watch video answering questions as you go.

2. Use video to answer questions.

3. When you finish turn in.

These are the review challenge assignments for this week. Go to STEMscopes and

complete the questions on the following assignments. Let's see how many shout outs I

can give this week. Send me a message when you are finished. If you think you have

finished already check to make sure I have not returned anything to you.

1. Reading Science A-The Changing Surface of Earth

2. Multiple Choice Assessment from Rock Patterns use STEMscopedia from Rock

Patterns for a reference.

3. Concept Attainment Quiz from Rock Patterns use STEMscopedia from Rock

Patterns for a reference.

4. STEMscopedia from Rock Patterns.

I have posted a list of websites on the bealelementary.org page. Please choose activities

that your child would like to explore. Please pick an activity from the list to do with

your scientist each day that you don’t do an assignment. Have fun and stay curious.
