This
lesson
will
help
students
to
gain
an
understanding
of
a
variety
of
natural
events
that
occur
on
the
earth.
They
will
research
volcanoes,
storms,
atmospheric
conditions
and
extreme
environments.
They
will
work
in
groups
to
find
information
and
collect
facts,
create
a
simulation
of
a
science
news
broadcast
based
on
what
they
have
learned,
watch
a

This
demonstration
illustrates
the
properties
of
the
mantle
of
the
Earth,
using
potty
putty
mixed
with
a
solution
of
borax
and
simple
glue.
When
left
on
the
desk
the
potty
putty
will
sink
and
spread.
However
it
will
also
bounce
like
a
ball
if
enough
borax
is
used
and
it
can
be
stretched
far
more
than
plasticine
if
pulled
gently,
but
can
also
be
fractured
if
pulled
suddenly.
Students

This
site
describes
the
variability
of
eruption
types,
from
quiescent
lava
emissions
to
extremely
violent
and
explosive
events.
Eruption
variability
is
largely
related
to
magma
composition
and
the
amount
of
water
present.
Types
of
eruptions
discussed
include
fissure
and
Hawaiian
eruptions,
which
are
characterized
by
fire
fountains
and
lava
lakes,
strombolian
eruptions
as
exemplified
by
Paricutin

This
guide
instructs
teachers
in
classroom
use
of
the
MELTS
software
package.
MELTS
is
a
software
package
designed
to
facilitate
thermodynamic
modeling
of
phase
equilibria
in
magmatic
systems.
It
is
used
by
scientists
to
model
igneous
processes
such
as
the
composition
of
magma
melts
as
pressure
and
temperature
change,
or
to
test
scenarios
such
as
how
much
sulfur
a
volcano
gives
off.

This activity introduces students to planetary research. Students learn to focus on details by studying and writing descriptions of uncaptioned images of the Solar System. They then increase their knowledge of the planets and their features by comparing their descriptions to those of real researchers. Students organize their findings to infer a key difference between inner and outer planets.
