I. INTRODUCTION
Volcanoes are a key part of the Earth system. Most of Earth’s atmosphere, water, and
crust were delivered by volcanoes, and volcanoes continue to recycle earth materials. Volcanic
eruptions are common. More than a dozen is usually erupting at any time somewhere on Earth,
and close to 100 erupt in any year (Loughlin et al., 2015).
II. OBJECTIVES
1. Analyse the different types of hazards associated with volcanic eruptions and identify
safety measures and precautions to mitigate risks.
2. Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills by exploring the cause-and-effect
relationships within a volcanic system and proposing potential improvements or
modifications to the experiment.
3. Demonstrate proficiency in conducting a volcanic experiment, encompassing the setup,
observation, and documentation of various volcanic phenomena.
4. Understand the basic principles of volcanic activity by familiarizing the different
volcanic processes including the processes leading to eruptions and the factors
influencing volcanic behaviour.
5. Promote collaborative learning in investigating the Positive and Negative effects of
Volcanic eruption.

V. PROCEDURES
3. How does the type of eruption affect the structure of your volcano?
4. Which among the different materials you used affect the viscosity of the lava?
5. What were the distinct dangers exhibited by your volcano in the course of the experiment?
6. How do you mitigate the hazards caused by the volcanic eruption demonstrated in your
experiment?
8. What is the underlying causes of volcanic eruption in your experiment and how would you
relate it to a real-life volcanic eruption?
9. What are the things that can still be improved in your volcano?
10. How does the experiment help your group to practice our school core values?
