“We did this lesson with our second graders, and they felt really empowered that they were able to do a fourth-grade lesson. They loved it and were able to come to great conclusions and have some meaningful discussions.”
· Lesley · Teacher
“Since we live in Southern California, my students were both excited and concerned about the possibility that a volcano could occur in our area. The collection and analysis of data was very meaningful and engaging.”
· Maria · Teacher
“Kids had a great time graphing the volcanoes! We talked about how this was similar to graphing coordinates in math. That connection was so awesome! They were able to identify the ring of fire and actually used the terminology "ring" during our discussion, before the video mentioned it! We had a blast! And even better, I got to sit back and do enjoy the lesson with the kids! The video considered every aspect of the lesson and it was so thorough! Thank you! ”
· Debontina · Teacher
“Having students interact by plotting active volcanos in our world was great. The videos were clear, informative, and engaging. Great exploration activity! ”
· · Teacher
“LOVED IT!!!!! It was fascinating and amazing. Kids were super engaged and excited about it. I LOVE how it was laid out. I thought it was amazing in every way and have been highly recommending Mystery Science to my colleagues. Thank you for the fantastic resource!!”
· Melissa · Teacher
“My students were instantly absorbed into the lesson. They showed enthusiasm throughout because their curiosity was piqued. They really wanted to know whether or not a volcano could pop up in their backyards. ”
· Sammuel · Teacher
“My kids loved it and I loved that it had a coordinate grid connection, opportunities to talk about earthquakes and continental drift, and an engaging lesson, videos, and activities. I modified it so that all of my 4th graders completed all of the plots. I also did one and posted my complete one as students finished theirs. Not everyone finished completely, but it was naturally differentiated and everyone got a lot out of the lesson without anyone waiting for others to finish!”
· Paul · Teacher
“My students LOVED the videos, working together as teams to create their maps, and seeing the world map come together in the end. We had been learning about mapping in Social Studies, which provided some helpful background skills.”
· Kathleen · Teacher
“The students loved the up-close images and video of lava. They also were interested to know that lava rocks have been found as far away as Virginia. We live in Louisiana, so that tells us that one day, a volcano MIGHT pop up near us. We loved learning about the "RING OF FIRE!" We liked watching the volcano erupt and learning about the lava being visible through a crack in the ground. -Mrs. Spivey's 4th grade class Bossier City, LA”
· Heather · Teacher
“Mapping the volcanoes! The kids LOVED following the grid and figuring out where to place the marker.”

· Kathy · Teacher
“The liked making the big map at then end to see the "big picture"”
· Christy · Teacher
“We have been on a Volcano kick every since- watching docu-dramas about Pompeii, interviewing family that witness Mount St Helens and even watching a "true story that hasn't happened yet" regarding Yellowstone. I especially loved that they "figured out" the ring of fire before expliciting being told about it- and that it corresponds to the earthquake zones we are familiar with being from Southern CA. ”
· Sarah · Homeschooler
“We really enjoyed the videos and the mapping activity. My child and I were both amazed how the volcanoes on all four maps could all be connected.”
· Elizabeth · Homeschooler
“100% Student engagement!!! They lOVED it!”

· Michael · Teacher
“I home-educate my daughter. She's 11 and was totally absorbed in the lesson in a way she isn't normally as she generally finds science boring. I think the best part is the whole way it is presented, the way it is interactive, you can move at your own speed, the instructions are very clear and so is the teaching. And they're guided to find the answers for themselves which makes it fun. We really enjoyed it and look forward to the next one today!”
· Danielle · Homeschooler
“The kids making great connections to knowledge they already had. The best part specifically for me was having everything already prepared. Nothing beats having a lesson already created with great material and all I had to do was make some copies!”
· Amber · Teacher
“My class is always attentive during videos, but it was great to see 100% engagement during the work phase. Plotting points on the map was a new thing for them, but they really got into it, and were amazed to see the pattern when they were all put together. Keep the mysteries coming! ”
· Valerie · Teacher
“The students were so engaged and excited!!I love the way they were able to make their own discoveries and draw conclusions!”

· Caroline · Teacher
“The students loved doing the volcano mapping activity. Watching my students, even ones reading way below grade level, able to access the lesson and draw generalizations about the location of volcanoes was truly amazing.”
· Michelle · Teacher
“My students loved seeing the volcano patterns, making predictions, and having discussions of why they might be formed around oceans. They can't wait for mystery 2.”
· Kristina · Teacher
“The whole formula of media, narrated and modeled directions that free up the teacher to circulate and assist, and the hands-on piece are all amazing!”
· Jaime · Teacher
“The kids loved the guided instruction, cool videos, and putting their maps together. I loved that it required them to analyze the map and make conclusions regarding volcanic activity and plate boundaries.”
· Katie · Teacher
“I was free to help the kids who needed help! The person't voice and intonation is great as well. The videos and photos are super. This is an amazing resource! ”
· Victoria · Teacher
“The students thoroughly enjoyed finding the pattern (Ring of Fire) as they plotted where the volcanoes were on the world map. They came up with their own questions for further research just because this lesson sparked their interest. Very authentic learning experience.”
· Cheryl · Teacher
“The opening hook captured everyone and opened up a slew of questions. I actually had to reign them in and tell the kids we'd get to all the questions in good time, but first we needed to figure out a few facts about volcanoes.”
· Nancy · Teacher
“Students were SO engaged! LOVE the thought provoking question to spearhead the mystery. I had several kids that said they were just "blown away!" They loved spotting the patterns on their own.”
· Kim · Teacher

Activity Prep

Print Prep
In this lesson, students explore the past and present pattern of where volcanoes exist on the earth. In the activity, Mapping Volcanoes, students plot volcano locations on a world map and look for patterns. Students analyze these maps to discover that volcanoes form a “Ring of Fire” around the Pacific Ocean.

Prep Instructions

We suggest students work in pairs. Each pair of students will work on one quarter of the Volcano Map. At the end of the activity, four pairs of students will bring their maps together to form one complete Volcano Map.

Homeschool students can work on their own, but will need to complete all four parts of the Volcano Map so that they can analyze the global volcano pattern.

You will need enough wall space to display the completed maps. There will be one map for every 8 students, so a class of 32 students will have 4 completed maps. Each complete map measures approximately 22” x 17”.

Prepare Volcano Discoveries Printouts

Cut each Volcano Discoveries printout in half to make two worksheets. Each student needs a half sheet for the activity.

Display Maps (Optional)

At the end of the activity, you may want to display the completed Volcano Maps. Depending on the wall surface, attach the maps using tape or push pins.
