The students in the class were learning about volcanoes. They brainstormed different volcano ideas and voted to study volcanoes. They came up with questions they wanted to learn about volcanoes and ways to find information, such as bringing books from home, using the internet, and asking classmates who studied volcanoes the previous year. They constructed volcanoes out of playdoh based on their knowledge and imagination. They created an index and began learning facts about volcanoes, including what they are, different types, why they erupt, explosions, volcanic rocks, geysers, volcanic zones, and more.
