Volcano picture writing prompts, by lisa  •  march 5, 2015  •  1 comment.

When you look at a picture, do you just see the obvious? Or are you one of those people who dig beneath the surface to find out what is hidden underneath? Do you ask ‘what if’ questions about what is in the picture? Asking questions and digging beneath what is plainly seen is a great way to come up with ideas for stories.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but it is up to the author to write those thousand words. (Richard Petracca)

Below is a picture of an exploding volcano. I have never witnessed a volcanic eruption, but the picture is beautiful and offers so many different ideas for a story.

exploding volcano, imgkid.com

exploding volcano, imgkid.com

An exploding volcano would be an inspiring, yet terrifying, thing to see. The lava is shooting high into the air, running down the sides of the volcano, and traveling on until it cools. The sky around it has turned shades of purple, red, and orange.

What if you woke up one morning, looked out your bedroom window, and saw this happening? What would you do? Would you crawl back under the covers and go to sleep? I don’t think you would. My guess is that you would get out of your house and away from the volcano as fast as you could. What possessions would you grab to take with you? Would you take enough time to grab any of them at all? Or would you just run?

What if you had been kidnapped and dropped down into the volcano before it exploded? Were you intended to be a sacrifice to try and appease the gods? Or were you someone your kidnappers expected to receive a huge ransom for and their efforts were not successful?

What if you were on the top of the volcano while it was dormant, and your spouse/significant other pushed you down inside? You were knocked unconsciousness, and when you awoke the volcano was getting ready to explode. Could you have somehow found a place inside where the lava wouldn’t get to you and where the heat coming from it wouldn’t kill you? Do you succeed in escaping?

What if you are a member of a tribe of people who believe that the gods make the volcano erupt when they are made angry by one of the tribe? Would just one member of the community be guilty or would all of them be guilty? Would everyone select just one person to leave behind for the volcano to kill? Or would it be mandatory for all to just sit still and wait on their death.

What if the steaming hot lava ejected by the volcano forms into a lava creature?  Would he be angry? Would he go around killing others? Or maybe he is someone who was murdered by being thrown into the volcano years before. Now he has come back to seek revenge on those who killed him.

The Hawaiian Islands were formed from volcanic lava. What if the lava from this explosion forms a new chain of islands? Would you be willing to be one of its first citizens?

The Scream, wikimedia commons

The Scream, wikimedia commons

What if you are in an airplane that just happens to be flying over the volcano when it explodes? Would the flight of the plane be disrupted? Would the passengers freak out?

What if you were in a hot air balloon overtop the volcano when it explodes? Would you be sucked down into the volcano’s fiery depths?

What if you were an artist? Would you stay and watch the explosion long enough to capture it on film or on canvas? How long would you put yourself at risk to get the perfect picture? And what kind of picture would it inspire you to paint? Think of  The Scream  painted by Edvard Munch. Could it have been inspired by a volcanic explosion?

Can you come up with any more writing prompts from the picture of the exploding volcano? If so, please feel free to leave them in the comments.

A volcano is an opening in the Earth's surface that can allow gasses, magma, and ash to escape. Volcanoes are often found where the Earth's tectonic plates meet. This is also where earthquakes , which can be caused by volcanic eruptions, usually occur.

Both earthquakes and volcanoes frequently occur in an area of the Pacific Ocean basin known as the Ring of Fire , but volcanoes can occur anywhere—even on the ocean floor. Active volcanoes in the U.S. are found primarily in Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington.

Volcanoes don't just occur on Earth. The largest known volcano in our solar system is found on Mars. 

Classifying Volcanoes

There are a variety of ways to classify volcanoes . One way is by their activity. Volcanoes are known as:

  • Active : These are volcanoes that have erupted in recent history or are showing signs of activity.
  • Dormant: These volcanoes are currently quiet but could erupt. 
  • Extinct: These volcanoes erupted thousands of years ago but are not expected to erupt again.

Another way to classify volcanoes is by their shape. The three main shapes of volcanoes include:

  • Cinder cone : These are the simplest types of volcanoes. They are formed by erupting lava that falls back to the ground around the vent as cinders and quickly cools. Over time, these cooled cinders form a cone shape around the volcano vent.
  • Composite : These are steep-sided volcanoes made up of layers of volcanic rocks, ash, and debris.
  • Shield : These are gently sloping, flat volcanoes shaped like a warrior's shield. They are made by flowing, cooling lava.

Volcano models are fun to make and show students how they work. Students across the globe have perfected the DIY volcano-erupting project using baking soda and vinegar , pop rocks , and Mentos with soda .

Bardarbunga's volcano fissure

How to teach … volcanoes

From lava flowing papier-mache models to class trips to the Science Museum, there’s plenty of ways to get your pupils fired up about volcanoes

Recent eruptions around the world have highlighted the fascinating and terrifying power of volcanoes.

From stunning footage of Iceland’s Bardarbunga volcano to a Hawaiian town bracing itself for the arrival of a menacing lava flow , we’ve seen dramatic evidence of the powerful forces at work inside the Earth.

So this week on the Guardian Teacher Network we have a range of ideas and resources to get pupils fired up when learning about volcanoes.

At key stage 2, the English national curriculum states that pupils should be able to describe and understand key aspects of volcanoes. A good starting place is this lesson plan by the Hamilton Trust . It encourages pupils to investigate where volcanoes are found and the vocabulary needed to describe what happens when a volcano erupts.

Students could use their new knowledge to create a giant wall display showing a cross-section of a volcano, similar to this diagram by 3D Geography . Label it with key terms such as magma chamber, main vent and crater, and encourage pupils to compile a glossary using this template .

You could then use this volcano-themed dictionary activity by Seeme Resources to reinforce students’ understanding of the vocabulary. Use it as a homework task and set an additional challenge to find some amazing facts. For example, how many known active volcanoes are there on Earth and which one is the biggest? What is the difference between a volcano that is dormant and one that is extinct? Can pupils find an example of an underwater volcano?

Primary students can research some of the world’s most famous volcanoes with this map-based activity . Using latitude and longitude co-ordinates, pupils plot 18 well-known volcanoes including Mount Fuji and Vesuvius. Can they identify which one is closest to the UK? We also have a word search and anagram puzzle about famous volcanoes, while these images from Teaching Ideas would make a nice display.

One of the most exciting things to do when studying volcanoes is to make a model. Students can do this either in class or at home depending on the materials you have available. This resource gives some good examples . Pupils might also like to make a model showing the four layers of the Earth .

The best type of model volcano is one that “erupts”. To do this, build a play-dough or papier-mache volcano around a plastic drinks bottle. Place it on a waterproof tray. Add a tablespoon of baking soda, a tablespoon of soap powder, a few drops of red or orange food colouring and 180ml of water to the bottle and mix. Quickly add 45ml of vinegar then stand back and watch the eruption. Alternatively, use jam jars and wet sand as explained in this Guardian resource .

As an extension activity, students could investigate some of the measures that are taken to protect towns that are near volcanoes, such as constructing gullies to redirect lava flows. Questions to consider with secondary students might include: why would anyone want to live near a volcano? Can volcanoes be useful to us? Hint: think of the effect of mineral-rich lava deposits on surrounding land, and the role of volcanoes in the carbon cycle.

At key stage 3, the curriculum states that pupils should be able to understand the key processes in physical geography relating to plate tectonics. This video by Twig World provides a nice introduction.

Students can also explore plate boundaries in this activity by 3D Geography . They draw labelled diagrams of three different types of plate boundary – convergent, divergent and transform – and write short explanations of what the diagrams show. Pupils could work on these activities in groups, sharing their research with the rest of the class. We also have lessons about: the causes and effects of volcanic eruptions ; the distribution of volcanoes ; tectonic hazards ; and the movement of tectonic plates .

Another good idea is to use volcanoes as a way of teaching topical science. This news article and activities by The Day is about a giant volcano at the centre of Yellowstone National Park . This one is about an Indonesian volcano that erupted after 400 years of dormancy and this one considers who should be in charge of saving archaeological treasures such as Pompeii . We also have a case study resource by the Geographical Association about the eruption of Mount Ontake on Honshu Island in Japan in September 2014 . Asking students to imagine what it would be like to witness a volcano erupt could be a good cross-curricular, creative writing exercise.

Finally, London’s Science Museum is showing a film about the power of volcanoes, earthquakes and severe storms called ‘ Forces of Nature ’ on Tuesday 10 February at 11am. It uses animation to explore the formation of the Earth’s crust and documentary footage to show how natural disasters are triggered. The film supports learning from key stage 2 to 4. Booking is required and tickets cost £5 per person. You’ll find more teaching materials from the Science Museum here .

For more ideas, see this how to teach article about earthquakes . You’ll find all the latest world news about volcanoes, including amazing images and videos, here .

Using Worksheets to Teach About Volcanoes

Have you ever been captivated by the raw power of an erupting volcano or the mysterious beauty of the cloud of molten rock flowing from the Earth's crust? Volcanoes, those fiery mountains that dot our planet's landscape, are a fascinating and formidable force of nature.

Volcanoes are nature's fiery giants, created by the restless movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. They can be found all around the world, and their formation is a testament to the immense geological forces at play. To get started, take a look at some free printable volcano worksheets for students, including kindergarten volcano worksheets that introduce the youngest learners to these magnificent landforms. These worksheets often feature volcano diagram worksheets to help students understand the anatomy of a volcano and volcano vocabulary worksheets to enhance their terminology.

Types of Volcanoes

Just as volcanoes come in various shapes and sizes, they also exhibit different characteristics. Shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, and cinder cones are among the most common types. Each type has its own unique gases, features, and eruptions. Learning about these distinctions can be a thrilling lesson in earth science for students of all ages, from kindergarten to middle school. Consider using volcano worksheets for kids that include colorful illustrations to make the learning experience even more engaging.

The Anatomy of a Volcano

To truly understand the inner workings of a volcano and why volcanoes erupt, we must delve into its anatomy. Picture an erupting volcano: molten rock, or magma, rises through vents and eventually erupts through the volcano's summit. The resulting lava flows can be a mesmerizing yet dangerous sight. Free volcano worksheets often include volcano diagram worksheets that allow students to label and visualize the various parts of a volcano, such as the magma chamber, vent, and crater.

Volcanic Eruptions

Now, let's discuss one of the most thrilling aspects of volcanoes: eruptions. As with any earth forces, like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions can vary widely in intensity, from slow and effusive to explosive and devastating. The factors influencing eruption type are complex, and scientists work tirelessly to monitor and predict volcanic activity. This topic can make for an exciting lesson plan in middle school, where students can explore volcano and plate tectonics worksheets to grasp the underlying geological mechanisms.

Volcanoes and the Environment

While eruptions may be awe-inspiring, they can also have far-reaching environmental consequences. The release of gases, ash, and lava can lead to air pollution, tsunamis, mudslides, and even impact global temperatures. Understanding these effects is crucial for appreciating the full scope of volcanic activity.

Activity Worksheet Ideas

  • Rock Hunt (Kindergarten - 2nd Grade): Take students on a nature walk to collect different rocks. Provide a simple rock worksheet with pictures of common rocks and ask students to match the rocks they found with the pictures.
  • Types of Rocks Sorting Activity (3rd - 5th Grade): Provide a types of rocks worksheet printable with images of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Have students cut out the images and classify them into the appropriate categories.
  • Mineral Identification Lab (6th - 8th Grade): Set up a mineral identification station with various minerals, each labeled with a number. Provide students with a mineral identification worksheet where they record observations and identify each mineral based on its physical properties.
  • Geological Process Research (9th - 12th Grade): Assign students a specific geological process (e.g., plate tectonics, erosion) to research. Have them create presentations or reports to explain the process, including its impact on the Earth's surface.
  • Rock and Mineral Analysis (7th - 12th Grade): Provide students with a rocks and minerals worksheet with descriptions of various rocks and minerals. Ask them to research and find out specific examples of rocks and minerals that match the descriptions.

Steps to Make a Volcano Worksheet

  • Define Grade Level and Purpose: Identify the target grade level (e.g., kindergarten or middle school) and the worksheet's educational purpose, such as volcano diagrams or vocabulary.
  • Set Learning Objectives: Clearly state the educational goals, whether it's understanding volcano types or enhancing reading comprehension. Reading comprehension worksheets focus on improving a student's ability to understand and interpret written texts, often using passages or stories with questions. For instance, volcano reading comprehension worksheets can help students grasp the complex relationship between volcanic eruptions and their environmental consequences.
  • Select Content and Topics: Choose the relevant topics to cover, considering keywords like "volcano vocabulary" or "volcano diagram worksheets."
  • Design Layout and Visuals: Create an organized and age-appropriate layout, incorporating visuals like illustrations or diagrams as needed. For instance, volcano worksheets for kindergarten often feature easy-to-understand visuals and interactive exercises that captivate young learners while introducing basic concepts about volcanoes.
  • Craft Questions and Interactivity: Write engaging questions (perhaps about famous volcanoes), prompts, or interactive activities aligned with the learning objectives.
  • Finalize, Proofread, and Share: Review, proofread, and edit the worksheet, ensuring accuracy, grammar, and clarity. Share the completed worksheet with educators or students, making it accessible, especially if it's a free printable volcano worksheet.
