(Adapted
from

Education)
This
is
the
last
lesson
in
the
Volcano
Earth
Science
Unit
Day
one
&

for
Research
Day

watch
film
Day

Essential
Questions:
What
factors
are
taken
into
account
when
talking
about
the
amount
of
destruction
caused
by
an
eruption?
What
can
be
predicted
about
volcano
eruptions?
How
do
eruptions
affect
the
environment
and
the
community?
What
is
a
Volcanologist?
Enduring
Understandings:
Studying
historical
volcanic
eruptions
improves
our
understanding
of
earths
processes
and
using
the
Volcanic
Explosivity
Index
to
estimate
and
determine
the
amount
of
destruction
caused
by
an
eruption.
Although
it
is
known
where
volcanic
eruptions
are
likely
to
happen,
there
is
currently
no
reliable
way
to
predict
precisely
when
a
large
event
will
occur.
There
are
major
effects
on
the
environment
and
the
community
when
a
large
eruption
occurs.
Volcanologists
study
and
assess
volcanic
activity
and
some
assist
world
leaders
when
making
decisions
when
handling
such
a
disaster.
Assessments:
While
students
are
working
in
their
groups,
each
will
have
traffic
light
cups
indicating
whether
or
not
the
group
is
in
need
of
assistance
from
the
teacher.
o This
way
I
know
which
groups
are
making
progress
and
which
groups
need
assistance.
o I
will
still
walk
around
to
check
groups
progress
and
assess
the
information
students
found
for
accuracy
during
their
research.
Students
will
keep
track
of
their
progress
with
meeting
lessons
goals
on
a
learning
goal
inventory.
o I
will
set
goals
for
each
day
and
they
will
be
posted
on
the
board
for
students
to
see
and
refer
to.
Before
students
start
working
on
their
assignments,
I
will
discuss
the
goals
for
the
day
and
at
the
end
of
class
students
will
fill
out
the
learning
goal
inventory
(worksheet)
and
pass
it
in
as
they
leave
(exit
ticket).
o From
these
I
will
be
able
to
assess
how
well
students
feel
they
have
met
the
learning
goals
for
the
day,
and
assess
how
well
groups
are
progressing
through
the
work
and
individual
student
comprehension.
I
will
be
to
set
the
next
set
of
learning
goals
based
off
the
information
gathered
from
the
inventory.

Students
will
turn
in
their
log
books
after
completing
their
research
so
I
can
see
if
they
found
accurate
information,
sited
their
sources,
came
to
accurate
conclusions,
and
made
reasonable
suggestions
considering
the
human
element
of
the
project
(how
to
cope,
evacuation
suggestions,
etc.)
o I
can
assess
groups
information
for
accuracy
and
for
student
comprehension
by
the
groups
log
book.
After
exploring,
explaining,
and
elaborating
students
will
take
all
of
their
information
and
create
a
digital
presentation
as
a
group
and
present
it
to
the
class.
After
all
of
the
presentation
and
class
discussion
student
will
write
a
reflective
paper.
This
assessment
will
present
students
understanding
and
comprehension
of
the
lesson/unit.

o After
the
movie
the
class

accuracy
of
the
movie,
parts
that
are
similar
to
what
they
