Description

What is included in this Volcano Research Project?

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 Project 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.
