Geology Unit Part 2 Volcanoes

This comprehensive Volcano Unit is a 10-lesson bundle (50 minutes each) paired with an 18-page interactive work bundle to captivate and engage students while simplifying lesson planning for busy teachers. With a step-by-step approach, this unit seamlessly combines visuals, hands-on activities, quizzes, and games for a dynamic learning experience. Students will fill in critical notes, explore real-world case studies, interpret graphs, and build their own erupting volcano models.

The interactive slideshow provides a chronological framework for lessons, and the accompanying work bundle ensures students stay engaged and on task. A 20-question quiz game and a 160-slide PowerPoint review game make assessments fun and effective, while editable materials allow for customization and easy integration into Google Classroom.
