**STEP 1**
Get into groups of three. Once in your group, each person must choose one of
the following roles : Volcano Expert, Eruption Alerter, Facts Boy/Girl
(depending on your gender of course)
**STEP 2**
Once each person in the group has a role, each of you will go to the
computer lab and research the assigned questions given to your particular
role. In addition to researching the information regarding your role,
each student must find five pieces of information (about volcanoes) that
they think are important and would be most helpful in teaching another
person about volcanoes.
**STEP 3**
After researching is complete, meet back together and share each
of your findings. After hearing each of the member's five pieces of
important information (about volcanoes), your group will decide on the top
ten pieces of information that they find to be most valuable. Your group
will, in addition, keep the research information regarding the questions
assigned to each role.
**STEP 4**
Your group will create TWO poster boards:
1)With information your group found in regards to the questions assigned to
each role and the ten pieces of information that your group chose to be most
valuable to create a poster board. You must fill up at least one poster
board. Your group may use more than one poster board if needed. Do not make
the font tiny! Make your layout clear and easy to read. Be creative!
2)Create a poster board displaying a labeled structure of a volcano. Be
colorful and creative!
**STEP 5**
As your group's final product, you will create a model of a volcano (and
make it erupt). You can create the volcano according to directions given on
the following website or from another source of your own:
