Students canthen comment on the distribution patterns they can observe.- Arrange students to watch images and video footage of volcanoes and volcanic activity that tookplace in the Mediterranean in order to introduce the main characteristic features of theselandforms. Students can be encouraged to construct their own labelled model of a volcano usingdiscarded materials. Students can construct a model showing the cross-section of a volcano.- Arrange students in groups. Provide each team with a list of two or three volcanoes and theyresearch at home on the internet (provide appropriate websites according to ability) to obtaininformation about their shape, location, their state (active, dormant, extinct), descriptions of pasteruptions and damage done. Each group will then complete a fact file to include also labelleddiagrams and images with captions. These investigations can be displayed in the classroom forstudents to discuss the findings of other groups.- Provide students with samples/pictures of volcanic rock specimens (lava, basalt, pumice,obsidian). Discuss with students how these specimens were formed and make them differentiatebetween the terms lava and magma. In groups they inspect and examine the properties of theserocks and write about their different colours, structure and texture. They compare them tosedimentary rock samples studied in previous units.- Students will explore the dangers caused by eruptions (lava flows, volcanic ash, volcanic bombs,
