Teacher Guide
Standards:
5-ESS2-A: Earth’s major systems are the geosphere (solid and molten rock, soil, and sediments), the hydrosphere (water and ice), the atmosphere (air), and the biosphere (living things, including humans). These systems interact in multiple ways to affect Earth’s surface materials and processes. The ocean supports a variety of ecosystems and organisms, shapes landforms, and influences climate. Winds and clouds in the atmosphere interact with the landforms to determine patterns of weather.
4-ESS2-B: The locations of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, ocean floor structures, earthquakes, and volcanoes occur in patterns. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands that are often along the boundaries between continents and oceans. Major mountain chains form inside continents or near their edges. Maps can help locate the different land and water features areas of Earth.
Objectives:
Teacher Background Information:
A volcano is a rupture on the Earth's (or any other planet) crust, which allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
Mount St. Helens is a famous volcano in the United States, located in Washington state, which erupted in 1980. It was the deadliest volcanic event to take place in our history.
Assessments:
Formative
Summative
Advanced Prep:
Materials for all lessons
Materials for Lesson 1
Materials for Lesson 2
Materials for Lesson 4
Materials for mini volcano

Objectives:
- Students will be able to identify and describe the 4 main types of volcanoes (Dome, Composite, Cinder cone, and Shield) and compare two types using a compare/contrast worksheet.
- Students will be able to locate the Ring of Fire and note specific "high frequency" volcano locations on a map using red and yellow highlighters and verbally describe why volcanoes form where they do.
- Students will be able to identify the three types of rocks as sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic and explain how they transform into one another by completing a graphic organizer.
- Students will be able to describe how a landscape changes after a volcanic eruption by drawing a time-lapse picture of a landscape before, during, and after the eruption.
- Students will be able to build a model volcano based on a real-life one, including the correct information (type, geographic location, name) displayed in a poster formate.

Assessments:
Formative
- Mind-map- Students will create a mind-map of volcanoes. (Group) (Optional)
- Compare/contrast graphic organizer- Students will complete a simulation and fill out the compare/contrast worksheet about 2 different volcano types. (Individual) (Required)
- Definition graphic organizer- Students will write in important volcano terms and their definitions as they progress through the unit. (Individual) (Optional)
- Ring of Fire map- Students will color and label a map of the world with high frequency volcano areas, the Ring of Fire, continents, oceans, and countries (bordering the high frequency volcano areas). (Group) (Optional)
- Rock cycle graphic organizer- Students will write the 3 types of rocks and their transformations in the graphic organizer. (Individual) (Required)
- Time-lapse picture- Students will draw a picture of what a landscape would look like before, during, and after a volcanic eruption. (Group) (Required)
Summative
- Build your own volcano- Students will build a mini volcano modeled after a real-life one they've researched. They will create a poster board to display the information they've found to accompany the mini volcano. (Group) (Required)
