Aim & Objectives:
Monday: How volcanoes form and types of volcanoes
Performance Objectives:
Students will be able to:

Explore the patterns in the location of volcanoes.

Relate volcanoes and plate tectonics.

Identify the three types of volcanoes.

Compare and contrast three kinds of volcanoes.

Describe volcanic features.

Define: Vent, Lava, Crater, Hot
Spot, Cinder-cone volcano, shield volcano, and composite volcano.
Instructional Strategies,
Activities, Labs and Process
Skills
The students will come into class and log onto the laptops. The will use the PowerPoint on my school website to follow along and fill in their note sheets. Included in the
PPT will be a variety of pictures, video clips, and information about volcanoes.
Homework:
Study for Chapter 7 Lessons 2 &
3 Test on Thursday.
Study guide due Wednesday
Applicable CPI Resources, Materials, Web Sites:
5.4.6.D.1 Lithospheric plates consisting of continents and ocean floors move in response to movements in the mantle.
5.4.8.D.2 Major geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building, result from the motion of plates. Sea floor spreading, revealed in mapping of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and subduction zones are evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

Tuesday: How volcanoes form and types of volcanoes
Performance Objectives:
Students will be able to:

Explore the patterns in the location of volcanoes.

Relate volcanoes and plate tectonics.

Identify the three types of volcanoes.

Compare and contrast three kinds of volcanoes.

Describe volcanic features.

Define: Vent, Lava, Crater, Hot
Spot, Cinder-cone volcano, shield volcano, and composite volcano.
The students will come to the smartboard to try a variety of different online activities involving volcanoes.

On the smartboard the students will create volcanoes of various degrees in strength and force. They will see the animation of the eruption and the effects it has on
Earth’s crust.

Students will watch a bunch of video clips that explain volcanoes and how they work

The students will go on a virtual volcano field trip to learn more about volcanoes.
