This project was created as part of a Weaving Webs for Education course offered by Rock Hill School District 3.
In this webquest, students are given the opportunity to explore more about the volcanic regions in our world. In their research, students will also illustrate the influence volcanoes have had on our culture. Volcanoes are present in art, literature, and the movies. They also affect our decisions in agriculture, recreation, and emergency preparedness. Forces of Earth, such as volcanoes, can rule our way of life.
This
lesson was adapted from an activity in the Grade 8 Prentice Hall Science
Explorer: Inside the Earth textbook.
This
lesson is designed for eighth grade science students. Its focus is
volcanoes. It is appropriate for this grade level as outlined by
the South Carolina State science standards.
