Friday and Volcanoes

Today we watched a powerpoint presentation on volcanoes. We discussed the three types of volcanoes, how magma becomes lava, and the dangers and benefits of volcanoes. Most of the information is straight from the book, although there were more pictures and sound effects. The test is Tuesday so we will review on Monday.

The test will cover plate boundaries, plate tectonics, continental drift, earthquake waves, types of volcanoes, seafloor spreading, Pangaea, faults, the three layers of the Earth, focus and epicenter. Students also need to recall the names and spelling of the Planets, definition of a hypothesis, and how to draw an atom.
