These
activities
illustrate
the
order
of
rocks
in
a
sequence
and
tells
us
about
the
relative
timing
of
their
formation.
Students
use
layers
of
colored
sand
and
colored
paper
to
simulate
the
sequencing
involved
in
the
formation
of
rock
layers.
At
the
end
of
the
activities
students
should
understand
that
rocks
lower
in
a
sequence
are
usually
older
than
ones
that
are
higher

(superposition).
They

This resource presents three examples of lava domes, from Alaska, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, along with a 3D simulated view of Mt. St. Helens' lava dome. A diagram shows the progressive growth of Mt. St. Helens' lava dome from 1980 to 1983. A link leads to a thorough explanation of dome-collapse pyroclastic flows (nuee ardentes) and another leads to a numerical program of lava dome growth.

In this lesson, students learn about the structure of the Earth, using a nectarine as a model to represent the crust, mantle and core. The same model can also be used to show how much land on Earth is considered usable. This lesson could be used as an introduction to a unit about the Earth, or the beginning of a series of activites focused on the Earth and environment.
