In class today, we completed our Guided Workbook pages 63-65 (#'s 1-15). 

Also, we took notes and learned about the parts of a volcano and the characteristics of magma.

Notes on Slides numbered 12-14.  Power Point link to download on November 26th's blog entry.

Homework:  Label the parts of the volcano and describe each feature in your own words.  Your book and notes will be a great reference.  Also, workbook pages 63-65 (if not finished in class).

I am planning our volcano lab using Play Dough next week.  We will need to have our donated Play Dough in by this Friday, November 30th.  If we do not receive enough for our classroom, we will find alternate activities.  I think the students will really enjoy the activity with Play Dough because we are going to create and experience volcanic eruptions.
