Volcanoes
The Alaska Volcano Observatory updates activity continuously...
The Alaska Volcano Observatory updates activity continuously.The contents can be adapted to several age groups.
This award-winning Volcano World at the University of North Dakota provides the history and hints for interpretation of basic volcanic activity on our globe. The use of remote-sensing tools is explained.
CPB/Annenberg (learner)focuses on the predictability of volcanic eruptions. Java enhancements make this site appealing, too.
And, of course, virtual field trips can be made to key volcanoes--active and extinct. For instance, the Scripps Oceanography Institute is sponsoring virtual/real expeditions to the volcanoes in Costa Rico.
This category of sites lets students monitor changes from the safety of their computer--a key benefit of telecommunications. Students could follow such changes for a whole school year, thereby engaging in sustained inquiry.
