Lesson Procedures:
Introduction: Ask the student about their idea about life of the volcanoes, and what
do they know about it such as ashes, lava, heat and eruption.
Main Activity: Read the lesson, Make and experiment the volcanoes – how to make
the volcano erupts
Conclusion: To understand these new vocabulary and apply to every day use.
