How we got on
We had a lot of fun learning all about volcanoes. It was interesting learning about the history of Pompeii and as we have family members who have visited Faith got to interview them and write a report about what they said which was a good learning experience for her.
Faith said that her favourite activity was making a volcano and using elephant toothpaste to erupt it. I think that it turned out really well. We used 9% hydrogen peroxide and it came out really well.
Looking at the Iceland volcanic eruption was good as it covered tourism and the pros and cons of the eruption for businesses in the area. We did a lot of map work, learning where various volcanoes are and of course learnt about the parts of a volcano and how they erupt too. There are a lot of worksheets available online which helped with this too.
