Discuss in your groups what is Geoscience and why it is an important field to study?

# data[].attributes.body
Introduce the Big Ideas to teachers. Include a short video and discuss each Idea. Have teachers work in small groups and conduct the lava flow investigation. Wrap up with a discussion on which Big Idea was demonstrated and how can they apply this in their classroom.

1. Take one paper cup that has been cut to a
height of 2.5cm and secure it onto the
cardboard. (You may use a small piece of tape
on the outside bottom of the cup.) This short
cup is your eruption source (vent) and the
cardboard is the original land surface.
2. On the edges of the cardboard, mark North,
South, East and West.
3. Fill a large paper cup about 1⁄4 full with baking soda (unless your teacher has pre-measured
quantities ready for you.)
4. Pour about 1⁄4 cup of vinegar into a cup (unless your teacher has pre-measured quantities
ready for you). You will use this for all your volcanic eruptions.
5. Place 1 heaping spoonful of baking soda in the short cup in your tray.
6. You are not ready to create an eruption. Slowly pour a small amount of vinegar into your
source cup and watch the eruption of simulated “lava.”
7. When the lava stops erupting, quickly draw
around the flow edge with a pencil.
8. Wipe up the fluid with paper towels and dispose
of the paper towels in the trash.
9. As best you can, use a thin layer of play dough to
cover the entire area where “lava” flowed.
10. On the student sheet, record information about
the flow.
11. Repeat steps 5-10 for each color of play dough
available.
12. Wash your hands after you have finished the
eruptions.

Look at the Big  Ideas chart and discuss in your group which Big Idea did you focus on How can you integrate the Big Ideas in your science classes? Complete on the charts or Nearpod.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Looking down at your volcano, write down what you observe.
2. Did the flows always follow the same paths?
3. What do you think influences the path direction of lava flow?

After each eruption, record your data on the chart.

What causes a volcanic eruption? | Natural Disasters

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In this video we look at how the continuous movement of Earth's tectonic plates results in volcanic activity. In a volcanic eruption, super-heated magma from within the earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface. This most often occurs at tectonic plate boundaries, but some volcanoes can also form over 'hotspots', or weak areas in the earth's crust.

Uncovering our explosive past - a look at some of the historical aspects of volcanoes in New Zealand.

One Tree Hill, an iconic landmark of Auckland, is formed through volcanic activity.

500 BC - Mt Ngāuruhoe first begins to erupt

A vent of Mt Tongariro becomes active and forms the neighbouring Mt Ngāuruhoe.

200 AD - Taupō erupts

Taupō erupts forming Lake Taupō - the world's most powerful eruption in 5,000 years.

1000 AD - Mayor Island formed

A volcano in the Bay of Plenty erupts, forming Mayor Island, also known as Tūhua Island.

This eruption covers the region with a layer of ash.

1400 - Rangitoto erupts

This eruption forms Rangitoto Island.

Many strands of evidence are tied together into the encompassing theory of plate tectonics.

1974 - Mt Ngāuruhoe erupts

Mt Ngauruhoe continues to erupt with an estimated 45 eruptions in the 20th century.

1995-1996 - Mt Ruapehu erupts

Spectacular eruptions are widely documented in the media.

Volcanoes
Standard(s): [SC2015] (4) 14 :

14 ) Explore information to support the claim that landforms are the result of a combination of constructive forces, including crustal deformation, volcanic eruptions, and sediment deposition as well as a result of destructive forces, including erosion and weathering.

Standard(s): [SC2015] (2) 8 :

8 ) Make observations from media to obtain information about Earth's events that happen over a short period of time (e.g., tornados, volcanic explosions, earthquakes) or over a time period longer than one can observe (e.g., erosion of rocks, melting of glaciers).

[SC2015] (2) 9 :

9 ) Create models to identify physical features of Earth (e.g., mountains, valleys, plains, deserts, lakes, rivers, oceans).

Standard(s): [SC2015] ES6 (6) 5 :

5 ) Use evidence to explain how different geologic processes shape Earth's history over widely varying scales of space and time (e.g., chemical and physical erosion; tectonic plate processes; volcanic eruptions; meteor impacts; regional geographical features, including Alabama fault lines, Rickwood Caverns, and Wetumpka Impact Crater).

[DLIT] (5) 5 :

R5) Locate and curate information from digital sources to answer research questions.
