Mystery Science: Could a Volcano Pop up Where WE Live?!

Last week, the third graders completed another "Mystery Science" activity. This time, the lesson was geared towards our Rocks and Minerals unit. The 3rd graders got to use a map and a list of places and plot different volcanoes on them. After this, we combined all of our maps from different areas of the world and found that there is a "Ring of Fire" where *most* of the world's volcanoes pop up. We spent some time discussing if we thought a volcano could ever realistically pop in our own back yard. Be sure to quiz your third grader on what they think.
