The Eighth grade students at Summit Academy safely explored the most destructive force on Earth. They learned about Volcanoes, and how those events shape the surface of the earth. Ms. Robertson, the Science teacher sparked the student’s interest in this lesson by allowing them to build physical representations of volcanoes.

The process provided Summit Academy students with a tangible reference for learning about volcanoes and also gave them a chance to problem-solve as they build their models. The most exciting aspect for the students was to be able to see a volcanic eruption first hand. By using a combination of vinegar and Baking soda, the students demonstrated a volcanic eruption in this project.
