The document provides instructions for a multi-week school project where students will work in groups to construct paper mache volcanoes. It outlines 11 steps for building an erupting volcano, including forming groups, researching volcanoes, constructing the volcano structure, adding paper mache layers, decorating, and creating an eruption. Students will then write a reflection report on their project before submitting their volcano model, research, and report for a grade. The project aims to authentically simulate the process of designing and carrying out a natural disaster-themed science project.

WELCOME Grade 7 learners over the past few weeks we have been discussing natural disasters in class, such as volcanos, hurricanes, earthquakes and so on. For the next three weeks you are going to be constructing your very own volcanoes in groups of 3 members each. You are required to read task and follow instructions provided in the task.
TIME , MARK ALLOCATION AND RULES. You are allowed a double period for the next three weeks to work on your project (2 periods per week 3 weeks=6 periods). This project will contribute 50% of your science term mark. Any late submission will not be considered at all. If any fail to follow instructions presented in the task marks will be subtracted. Those who fail to participate will be strictly penalised. Any grievances, misconceptions or confusions should be immediately reported to Ms.Carvelo. Please try your very best when performing in this task and enjoy the project!
INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 1 You are required to form a group with only 3-4 members each , you are than required to choose a group leader. The group leader will now write down the names of each member in your group on a piece of paper and submit that paper before you begin your task. Each member in the group is required to collect research about volcanos ,this includes images and other interesting data/information (each group will be given a separate mark for the information collected). Information should be interesting and repent from repeating data. An optional suggestion would be to each decide in a group what sort of information would each person bring e.g. Sam will bring info. On what is a volcano? and Sara will bring info. On the effects of volcanos etc. From your research required you can build your own type of volcano ,e.g. from soil or clay if you please, however for those of you interested in building a volcano out of paper-Mache ,you are provided with the method on these slides presented.
INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 2 The actual building of the Volcano begins. You are required to build a volcano with paper-Mache , you will need: - 1 newspaper - 1-2 cups flour, depending on the volcano size desired - 1-2 cups water - 1 medium size bowl - 1 fork or spoon to stir with - 1 pair of scissors - 1 roll scotch or masking tape - 1 small plastic bag - 1 pencil or marker - 1 plastic or glass bottle - 1 medium size box - Paint - 1 medium size paint brush, (a couple more if you have several helpers) - Rocks, sticks, tips of pine trees or shrubs and anything else you would like to use to decorate the volcano with to make it more realistic. The group is allowed to discuss who will bring what material.

INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 5 Cover the bottle with a small plastic bag to keep building materials from sticking to the side of the bottle. Make a volcano structure around the bottle with 1 inch cardboard strips that were left over from the cut-off sides of the box. Staples can be used to hold the strips together if desired, but be sure to put plenty of tape around the crater of the volcano, and make sure not to cover the top of the bottle up. If you prefer a stronger structure, chicken wire does great ... but you'll need to supervise that, (and it really isn't needed).
INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 6 Mix about a cup of flour with enough water to make homemade paste. It should be about the consistency of elmers glue. Cut or tear several dozen 1 inch strips of newspaper, but leave at least a sheet or two to put under the box to make the clean-up part easy. Holding one end of a newspaper strip, drag it through the paste and gently squeegee off any excess glue with fingers on your other hand. The goal is for the paper to be wet, but not dripping with glue. Add each glue-soaked strip of newspaper to the volcano support structure, gently smoothing each down as you go. If the forming mountainsides get too much glue on them (you'll know), just add some dry strips to soak it up.
Continue until there are several layers of newspaper strips over the entire mountain, and on the bottom of the box. If you picked a larger bottle, you may need to mix more paste and cut more paper strips to get to this point, but when done, it is time to clean up for the day and let the model volcano dry. INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 7
INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 8 You are free to decorate your volcano however you please. Now you are required to make your volcano erupt. For erupting volcano projects using this technique, a liquid mixture is put in the bottle first. Baking soda is added through a funnel, or wrapped in tissue paper and forced in the bottle opening. Hot water is used in some, not in others, and most all use a colouring material of some type to make our simulated lava look more realistic. Here are some of the recipes tried. Trial 11/4 cup vinegar (up to a cup if you have a large bottle) 2 tablespoons baking soda cherry jello granules Place the vinegar in the bottle. This can be done before the bottle is put inside the model volcano in case you want to prepare ahead of time, otherwise, a small funnel works just fine. Stir the baking soda and enough cherry jello mix to make a pinkish powder. Either wrap the soda mixture in tissue paper or use a funnel to add it directly into the bottle. Tissue helps get all the soda in the vinegar at once, but if the funnel hole is large enough, that method works just fine. Either way, the goal is to get the baking soda into the vinegar as fast as you can. Stand back and watch what happens - Erupting Volcano!
INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 9 Trial 2warm water 1/4 cup vinegar (up to a cup for large bottles) 2 tablespoons baking soda cherry jello granules Fill the bottle about 2/3 full with very warm water. Add vinegar to the bottle. Mix the baking soda and enough jello together to make the mixture a light pink. When ready for the erupting volcano and add the powder to the vinegar all at once using either the funnel or tissue paper method noted above. The reaction can be quite fast, so add the soda mix quickly and stand back so everyone can see. Choose which ever method you are comfortable with when making your volcano erupt.
INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 10 When you are done , your volcano should look something like this.
INSTRUCTIONS : STEP 11 You are lastly required to write a half page reflection report on your project , explaining your insights on the project, how did you feel making the project? would you have made a volcano out of other material ? and what have you learned about volcanoes? Once you are done with your report you are ready for submission and have completed your task. Hand in The collected data/information. The actual model. The report. The following document allows one to determine the authentic characteristics used to design the project assessment created. Thank you! You have now completed your task.
AUTHENTIC TASK CHARACTERISTICS COMPLIANT WITH-IN THE PROJECT 1. The task relates to the real world-natural disasters-Volcanoes. 2. The task is ill defined- allowing learners the freedom to decide how to go about making the model by themselves and not actually telling them for example, put this here and make it round or built a taller model. 3. It is a complex activity- The task is required 3 weeks in order to complete, including it comprises of 3 parts-investigation/researches, building of a model and a report. 4. Learners are allowed the freedom to view the task from different perspectives-they can choose to either do a volcano out of clay, soil or paper Mache. 5. Learners are encouraged to work in collaboration-as anyone who does not adhere to the rule will be penalised. 6. Reflection- the assignment urges learners to reflect on specific points in the report. 7. Integration-The task allows for integration across subjects e.g. geography and history. 8. Learner assessment is tested- as learners are required to read instructions as a guide by themselves to completing tasks. Testing their capabilities of understanding and critical thinking. 9. Allows for competing solutions-learners are left to decide what way would be

Editor's Notes

  • #2: Lesson to be introduced on the 14th of June 2013. The science project is designed to help young students learn more about earth science by looking specifically at volcanoes. The experiment is done in two steps. First, we figure out how to make a volcano, then we look at fun ways to make it erupt.
  • #3: Learners are required to read slides and follow instructions.
  • #6: Some notes on the above materials. First, just about any drink bottle will work, but keep in mind that bottle size will determine volcano height. That's why the amount of flour and water is shown as variable. Second, having sides around the volcano helps keep the "lava" in part 2 of the project contained. However, if having sides is not desired, then substitute a flat piece of cardboard, or even some thin plywood for the box as a stable base for the model volcano. Finally, any paint will do, but a water based acrylic is recommended for easy clean up. They also dry quickly with little need to vent paint fumes. Green, blue, yellow, red, white and black or brown should provide plenty of variety. We cut the bottom out of a small Styrofoam glass to use for mixing colours and dispensing the paint.
