Volcano Unit Study

Volcanoes are a favorite topic to study at our house. In fact, we revisit the subject many times throughout the school year! With every subsequent study we deepen our knowledge and increase our understanding about this fascinating subject.

I'm big on interest-led learning so when my son wanted to pull out our volcano science kit, I took advantage and knocked out a full volcano study.

The beauty of having resources like my Volcano Unit Study on hand, is that we can study our favorites anytime we want!

I also took the opportunity to add a few items to my Volcano Unit Study. I've listed them for FREE for those of you who have already purchased the study and want the new printables.

Here are just a few of our favorite activities and resources. Enjoy!
