GROUP NUMBER___________________________

ACTIVITY SHEET
Simulating Volcanic Eruption Project
I. Objectives

At the end of the activity, the students should be able to:


1. Construct a simple model of a volcano using common materials.
2. Demonstrate a safe and observable volcanic eruption simulation.
3. Explain the scientific process behind volcanic eruptions, including pressure buildup and release.
4. Relate the simulation to real-life volcanic activities.

TASK: Design, construct and simulate a volcanic eruption. Decide on your own materials to use
and procedures to employ

II. Materials

(List down the materials used in your project)

III. Procedure

(Write the steps you followed during the project)

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

IV. Observation

A. Before the Eruption

1. Describe your volcano model.

2. What ingredients did you prepare for the eruption?

B. During the Eruption

3. What did you observe when your materials reacted?

4. Describe how the “lava” flowed.

C. After the Eruption


5. What changes did you observe in your model after the eruption?

V. Guide Questions

1. What caused the eruption in your model?

2. How is this similar to how real volcanoes erupt?

3. What part of the real volcanic process do your materials represent?

4. If you could improve your model, what would you change and why?

VI. Conclusion

(Write a short summary of what you learned from the simulation.)
