Volcano Web Quest----- Berney Fourth Grade

 

Introduction:

 

Our world leaders are trying to learn all they can about

volcanoes so that they can predict future eruptions. They

are counting on you to give them some facts about volcanoes

around the world.

 

Task:

Your task is to select one volcano to study and present your

findings to the world leaders. You or your team of 3 volcanologists

will find facts about your selected volcano and prepare a 2 or 3 page

power point presentation to display your information to the world.

 

Process:

Your team of 3 volcanologists (people who study volcanoes) will select

a volcano from the list provided.  You will then use the web resources

provided to find the following:  where it's located, height, last eruption

date, and damage (if any) caused by last eruption. Your team will develop

a project shoulder patch. You will make a power point presentation showing

what you have learned about your volcano.

 

Resources:

Use the web links provided to find information for your selected volcano.

Volcanoes to be selected are:

Vesuvius

Krakatoa

Paricutin

Hibok Hibok

Bezymianny

Agung

Mt. St. Helens

El Chichon

Mt. Pinatubo

Mauna Loa

 

Evaluation:

Evaluation (your grade or score) will be determined by the completion

of each task and the thoroughness (how much information your provided)

of each.  (See Evaluation Checklist). Your team must have successfully listed

your volcano's location, height, eruption date (s), and damage caused. You

must have designed a team shoulder patch for your volcano as well as

developed a 2 to 3 page power point presentation showing this information.
