Different Volcanic Eruptions

 Term 3 was a time Room 16 explored more about volcanoes. First, we learned about the parts of a volcano and how it erupts. 

Then we did different experiments which showed how different volcanoes erupt. Here are the illustrations made in groups and some description the students shared:

Strombolian Eruption

           Thick lava- Eiva

          Big explosion!- Thiana

          Ash, rocks and lava come out together- Zeppelin

         Lava and fireballs burst out.- Winter

Vulcanian Eruption

       Ash fall eruption - Leighton

       It's like smoke that comes out of chimneys. - Dre

Effusive Eruption

       Lava flows slowly and it is not explosive.- Kristi

      Eruption that has lava flowing out from the crater and vents. - Safwan

       

Pelean Eruption

        Sticky lava flows and then smoke and ash come out too.- Akshay and AJ

        It is like saying it is going to explode but have thick lava first. - Te-Tare
