This website is more about explaining what a volcano is and how they happen. I choose this website because it was very kid friendly and students will get a basic understanding of the idea of volcanos without giving them to much information.
Volcanoes are as dangerous as they are majestic. Over 50 eruptions rock our planet every year. This video helps you understand what causes volcanoes to form and erupt—and shows where they are most likely to be found.
Having a visual image of what a volcano really looks like is important for kids to grasp the understanding of what they are learning. I choose this website because 'National Geographic' is a very well known source and I know that the video will be accurate.

This picture focuses on the basics of what makes up a volcano.
This resource is important so that the student can understand what makes up a volcano. It shows the different aspects to the volcano so they can have a better understanding.
A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a reservoir of molten rock below the surface of the earth. Unlike most mountains, which are pushed up from below, volcanoes are vents through which molten rock escapes to the earth’s surface. When pressure from gases within the molten rock becomes too great, an eruption occurs. Eruptions can be quiet or explosive. There may be lava flows, flattened landscapes, poisonous gases, and flying rock and ash that can sometimes travel hundreds of miles downwind.
This website helps to provide the student with steps to take if they are ever near a volcano. I choose this because this can be beneficial information that is not commonly shared with students.
Some types of
volcanoes are easily recognizable and some are not. The "Hollywood" types are
easily recognized. Many are located in populated areas and have well-known names:
Vesuvius, Krakatoa, Fujiyama, and Mount St. Helens. These volcanoes are typically tens of
miles across and ten thousand or more feet in height. As illustrated in the figure above,
they have moderately steep sides and sometimes have small craters in their summits.
Volcanologists call these "strato-" or composite volcanoes because they consist
of layers of solid lava flows mixed with layers of sand- or gravel-like volcanic rock
called cinders or volcanic ash.
I choose this website because it shows the students the different kinds of volcanos. This is important for them to identify what they are looking at and researching.

Enjoy our awesome range of Earth facts for kids. Check out the cool trivia and have fun learning about some of our planet's most amazing features.
Fun facts are always interesting no matter the subject. I choose this website because it goes away from the basic information of volcanos and gives students more interesting facts that they may not find on every website.
This video shows us how to create out own volcano.
Hands on activities are important in learning. I choose this resource because students can follow it and make their own volcano to see how everything happens.
