The document provides an agenda and information for a workshop about volcanoes and preparing for a videoconference simulation on volcanic eruptions and evacuations. The workshop covers volcano types and features, online volcano resources, constructing simple volcano models, and practicing for an upcoming videoconference simulation where participants will assess volcanic and weather data to determine evacuation needs.

4. Getting Started Paperwork done? Protocols – leave no tracks! Earth science components Volcanoes Hurricane Algebraic calculations Mapping Disaster planning

5. Volcanology What’s Hot?

7. Volcano Primer Escape of hot, molten rock (Magma), ash and gas through planetary crust from below the surface Creates an opening, or rupture in the crust Magma is called lava as it flows out and can form mountains or features like mountains over a period of time Heat rises because hot substances are less dense than colder ones; this heat energy and trapped gas can create cataclysmic explosions Most formed at subduction zones found at tectonic plate borders

9. Volcano Types Shield volcano Oldest form, tall and broad with flat, roundish shapes: Olympus Mons on Mars, Kilauea Cinder cone volcano Small cone-shaped: Crater Lake Composite or stratovolcanoes : majestic, towering like Mt. St. Helens

10. Stratovolcano Cross-Section Large magma chamber Bedrock Conduit (pipe) Base Sill Branch pipe Layers of ash emitted by the volcano Flank Layers of lava emitted by the volcano Throat Parasitic cone Lava flow Vent Crater Ash cloud http://www.cuca.k12.ca.us/rcms/smith/volcano/earth.htm#cross

11. Forces of Nature National Geographic Website http:// www.nationalgeographic.com/forcesofnature / Enjoy the volcano section You can take a quiz online at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngkids/0106/volcano/ In groups, develop worksheet ideas for student use when visiting this site

12. May ‘07 Eruption in Chile http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/10/world/americas/10chile.html

13. How Do These Compare? Aleutian Islands: Listen to Podcast Last one of 8/7/08 Kasatochi , third in three weeks Chilean mountain erupted in May 2008 Hawaiian Islands are always cooking http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/interior/plume_volcanism.html&edu=high

14. What’s an e-Mission™ Video conferencing environment Challenger Learning Center www.e-missions.net Mission control is in charge Online materials for students and teachers Several award-winning missions available for grades 3-12

15. Operation Montserrat Middle school students Will the volcano erupt? Will a nearby hurricane make landfall? Should you evacuate residents from their homes? Simulation based on real-life events on Montserrat Computers with Internet access and VC equipment required

16. Four Teams Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat is ready to erupt at the same time a Category 3 hurricane is approaching Volcano team calculates rock fall and volcanic tectonic data to predict volcanic activity Hurricane team tracks hurricane and estimated estimates path and arrival time Evacuation team uses population maps and transport options to move residents from danger zones to safe shelters Satellite data from the island transmitted every 5-6 minutes Communication team keeps Mission Control informed and relays team recommendations

17. Previously… Overview presentation Visit website and review materials www.e-missions.net Operation Montserrat – for students: T-3 Weeks http://www.e-missions.net/om/3weeks/yourTask.aspx See teacher site for sequence & task plan

18. Connect to Mission Control Can use webcam with Safari Check with Rosemary Nieves, Grant Coordinator/ NYIT for additional resources

19. Today’s Mission: Volcano Team Distribute volcano team worksheets Complete in groups Review volcanic eruption data and graphs Rock fall Tectonic activity

20. Construct a Volcano Research ideas for volcano designs Experiment with bursts Alka Seltzer in small containers Baking soda and vinegar Menthos and Coca Cola? (see YouTube for videos) Add to wiki page at http://technoed.wikispaces.com

21. Bursting Gas Alka Seltzer Experiment Need: Alka seltzer, film canister, or similar, water & pushpin Develop hypothesis Put 20 mm water (about 4 tsp.) into canister Add ¼ Alka seltzer, cover and observe Repeat, adding ½ a tab, cover and observe Repeat again, but this time, put a few small holes in canister lid. Add ½ a tab, cover with lid and observe. Write up your experiment: Hypothesis, materials, procedure, results & conclusion Vinegar & Baking Soda Need: Aluminum tray, Large cup, small Dixie cup, food coloring Place large cup upside down in pan Add baking soda to Dixie cup to about 1/3 and place on top of large cup Add white vinegar tinted with food coloring? and stand back Variations: http://www.volcanolive.com/model.html
