How to teach volcanoes

VOLCANOES. They’re so cool, right? Not from up close, of course. I’m pretty sure your mentee would agree with you.

Here is an incredibly detailed article from The Guardian elaborating on the myriad ways for you and your mentee to learn about volcanoes together (with links). As this is a UK Newspaper, you might have to make a few adaptations to make their suggestions more relevant to our context – such as which volcanoes are closest to Canada, for example.

One thing the article fails to mention is the mythology behind volcanoes. Many cultures have specific myths and stories about volcanoes – if your mentee is into it, a cool project would be to look up and compare these myths!

It’s getting a little toasty here, don’t you think?
