Wild Environmental Science - Volcanoes of the World

Children will explore 11 famous volcanos and learn about volcanology with this STEM kit. Build and paint plaster models of St. Helens, Fuji, Vesuvius and other volcanos from around the world. As children create, they will learn about the history of each volcano. Children can place each model on the Tectonic Map to discover how the moving plates cause volcanic activity. Conduct experiments to learn about volcanic springs, lava bombs, eruptions, lava flows and mineral springs. Develop children's analytical, problem-solving, creative and universal STEM skills as they create their own volcanos. Includes safe, high-quality ingredients packaged in no-spill containers and a full-color educational instruction booklet. For ages 8+.

Educational Aim

Children will apply scientific principles to the real world as they explore 11 volcanos. They will conduct experiments to learn about volcanic springs, lava bombs, eruptions, lave flows and mineral springs. The Tectonic Map will demonstrate how moving plates cause volcanic activity. Develop analytical, problem-solving and creative skills as children customize volcanoes. Plus, children will learn universal STEM skills such as following instructions, measurement and observation.
