Shield volcano project

Shields are another common type of volcanic landform. They have gentle slopes relative to stratovolcanoes. Construction of a model of a shield follows the same basic steps as the model for stratovolcanoes. Step 1. The Base The piece of cardboard will be the base of the volcano. Tape a film canister near the center. The vial will be the lava pond or magma conduit. Step 2. The Interior The interior of your volcano will be made of newspaper wrapped in tape. Make balls from the newspaper. You…

This is the classic volcano project, right? But I liked how quick and easy (yet accurate!) this model turned out to be. Eruption! Examining the empty caldera We found the method in a book, I think. You tape a plastic cup to the middle of a paper plate, surround it with wadded-up newspapers (to support the volcano sides), cover the whole thing with foil, and then cut a hole in the foil above the cup so you can use it to hold your baking soda/vinegar mixture. So easy. Seb and Ky chose to…

Vulcanoes.

About 30 km beneath your feet is the Earth’s mantle.This region is so hot that molten rock can squeeze out and form giant bubbles of liquid rock called magma chambers. This magma is lighter than the surrounding rock, so it rises up, finding cracks and weakness in the Earth’s crust. When it finally reaches the surface, it erupts out of the ground as lava, ash, volcanic gasses and rock. It’s called magma when it’s under the ground, and lava when it erupts onto the surface. -- Celia Foster

This volcano project uses all four of our primary senses – smell, touch, sight, and hearing. You can tell by using these four senses that this is not something you want to eat, so we won’t be using our sense of taste in this project! But we’ll be able to smell the vinegar, touch the... Read more »
