Description

Students will first learn how to use the text features in an informational text including the table of contents and index. They will also learn how to find credible sources on the internet.
Then, students will be assigned a type of volcano to research (and optionally, a partner or group to work with). Students will have a Volcano Research Journal that they will use as a guide as they research the volcanoes in general as well as their assigned volcano type. Editable sections have been added to the research journals so you may add your own questions!
 
Once students have completed their research, they will use it to complete two culminating activities: a report/presentation and a salt dough model of their volcano. Finally, other classes and parents will be invited to the “Volcano Fair” where your students can show off their cool volcano!

Volcano Research Unit Contents:

  • Teacher Info Pages: This includes a sample unit outline, grading rubric, lesson plans for internet research, intro lesson, research journals, and final projects.
  • Book research/ text features worksheets: Students will review other text features including a glossary, titles, headings, photos, captions, graphs/charts, and special print. They will also compare and contrast the table of contents and index.
  • Internet research worksheets: These worksheets will familiarize your students with how to find credible sources on the internet for research.
  • Types of Volcano Cards Cards with the name and clip art of each type of volcano: composite, cinder, and shield.
  • Research Journals: The research journals will guide the students throughout their research. There is one question on each page for the students to find the answer to. 19 pre-written pages are included, plus 2 blank ones to add your own questions.

    Excellent research focused unit. This unit has everything to help get the students started with their research and work through the project. Having these in Google Slides format is perfect so my students can research and create on their computer both in school and at home without losing their work.
