Origami Organelles: 3-D Paper Model Kit: Volcano Model

Models are powerful tools for teaching science because they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Your students will enjoy learning about volcanoes using this hands-on model-making kit. They start by constructing a model using the colorful parts provided. Then they use the model to learn about the structure of a volcano and the different types of eruptions. The unique model shows the volcano structure from both the outside and inside in cross section. Students can model the cone, vent, crater, magma chamber, magma, lava, volcanic bombs, ash cloud, pyroclastic flow, and lahars. Kit also covers Hawaiian, Vulcanian, Vesuvian, and Plinian eruptions.
 
This model-making kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The included comprehensive teacher resource guide provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary, and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
