Lesson 2 out of 6. This Lesson looks at the Earth’s crust and the explores the layers. The activity involves children making their own earth with the layers inside, an alternative activity could be pulling apart a boiled egg and labeling.

This resource is for children learning the continents and oceans. It is set out as a map with the continents in shadow form. The children then have to stick the continents and seas onto the map in the correct places, using the shadows as guidance. I laminated mine and used velcro tabs to make it a reusable activity for the children. This activity is a great way to develop memory skills, as well as an ability to plan, test ideas and solve problems. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMN7bTxoN/ tiktok link is above

Lesson 6 of 6. This lesson looks at different volcanoes around the world, recaps on advantages and disadvantages of living near a volcano. The children will use the fact file sheets and given websites (linked at the bottom of the fact file) to research different countries with volcanoes on them. Fact files have been designed with relation to the given websites which are linked at the bottom of the slides (on the powerpoint version of worksheets)

Lesson 3 of 6. This lesson looks at the ring of fire and volcano formation.

lesson 4 of 6

Lesson 1 out of 6. This unit looks at the earth’s movements and specifically volcanoes. This lesson dives into tectonic plates, their movements and continental drift theory to help children conceptualise that the plates beneath our feet are always moving. There are lots of activities within the lesson to engage the children. You will require soil/sand for one activity as the children will dig for fossils like Wegener did to explain continental drift.
