Young geologists piece together the puzzle of plate tectonics in an earth science lesson. Given a physical map of the world, they search for land formations that indicate the location of different types of plate boundaries.

Students investigate volcanoes. In this landforms lesson, students locate two volcanoes on a world map. Students compare and contrast the types of volcanoes by using various Internet sites.

Young scholars investigate where volcanos come from. In this volcano lesson, students watch videos do Internet research and participate in experiments to discover the cause of volcanos.

For this volcanoes worksheet, students read 10 words pertaining to volcanoes. Students match these words to their definitions in another column.

In this volcano facts worksheet, students respond to 14 multiple choice questions that require them to exhibit what they know about volcanoes.

For this volcano crossword puzzle worksheet, students use the 8 clues and the terms in the word bank to help them correctly complete the word puzzle.
