We went to the computer lab today
so we could look at the information provided in some of the
links on this page. It was a successful activity, the
students really seemed to enjoy the Volcano Maker from Channel
One in particular. |

If you
have access to the internet at home, or can go to the public
library, then it would be great if you could go spend some more
time with these activities. The simulations are great, and
can show what actually happens in a visual way that is not
possible with simple text. |
