Why Choose This Course?
Join us for a volcanic adventure where we’ll learn about the Earth’s most powerful natural wonders. The week begins with a video showcasing an eruption in Iceland, leading into activities like mapping fault lines, designing volcanic tours, and creating a clay volcano that erupts! As we discover the science behind volcanoes, students will use their creativity to bring these lessons to life, whether through drawing, writing, or hands-on projects.
We’ll even step into history, imagining what it would have been like to witness the destruction of Pompeii. This course encourages students to combine science, art, and storytelling to explore the amazing world of volcanoes.
