Hi,
The computer teacher and I do a short unit with our second graders about volcanoes.
She has the kids learn a drawing program, and has them label the parts of a volcano
and color it in.
I talk about non-fiction books and why we have non-fiction books. And how we have
science books. And in the science books we have books about Earth. And things on
the Earth like volcanoes.
Then I show them the V encyclopedia - look! More information about Volcanoes! And I
have a piece of lava. And a science fair model of a volcano that we can put baking
soda and vinegar in. And Brainpop. Wow. We get SO excited about volcanoes - and
their reading story, Luka's Quilt, is set in Hawaii, where there are - you guessed
it - Volcanoes!
BUT I used to use my World Book Encyclopedia CD-ROM with some cool videos of
volcanoes exploding and my Grollier CD-ROM with some cool photos of the ash laying
around looking like snow drifts. But they are for my Mac and we have just been
given Dell laptops and I can't use my Mac CD's anymore.
Until I can buy another CD encyclopedia and get it loaded I am hoping YOU can
suggest a source for some real photos and videos of volcanoes. I'd like to take
these and make a short powerpoint show that I can talk my way thru with the kids.
Or perhaps you can share what you show the kids?
Thanks!
