Help!?
What can we use instead of a library book, magazines, or glue if those materials are hard to find?
If you can't get a library book or magazines, print child-friendly facts and images from safe online sources, draw the three pictures by hand, and attach them with tape or a stapler instead of glue.
What should we do if our poster ends up too crowded when we start writing our chosen facts?
Use your pencil sketch to rearrange headings and pictures, limit the project to the three most amazing facts as suggested, or switch to a folded booklet to give each fact its own section.
How can we adapt this volcano research activity for younger or older kids?
For younger children, have an adult pick five topics from the list and read facts from a library book while the child draws and glues the pictures, and for older kids, require multiple safe online sources, a simple timeline of an eruption, and a photographed or scanned project to post on DIY.org.
What are some ways to enhance or personalize our finished poster or booklet?
Add a small 3D paper volcano near your timeline or fun facts box, underline key words in bright colors, include captions for your three pictures or diagrams, and photograph or scan the finished poster for sharing on DIY.org.
