There was a general feeling that our investigations on magma and lava properties, and how they may affect the types of volcanoes formed and the types of eruptions that occur, seemed fairly confusing and not directly connected to what we were trying to learn. Many students were confused.
So I tried to create a graphic organizer that would help us organize our evidence from the recent investigations into three categories – based on the three volcano types. It was still confusing to fill out, but in the end it helped us gather the information we needed to complete one of the checklist items for our Volcano Projects.
Volcano Type Summary Worksheet
Remember, we didn't collect evidence for every type of volcano from every investigation – some of the spots on the worksheet will remain blank! Please ask if you have any questions.
