Children will explore 11 famous volcanos and learn about volcanology with this STEM kit. Build and paint plaster models of St. Helens, Fuji, Vesuvius and other volcanos from around the world. As children create, they will learn about the history of each volcano. Children can place each model on the Tectonic Map to discover how the moving plates cause volcanic activity. Conduct experiments to learn about volcanic springs, lava bombs, eruptions, lava flows and mineral springs. Develop children's analytical, problem-solving, creative and universal STEM skills as they create their own volcanos. Includes safe, high-quality ingredients packaged in no-spill containers and a full-color educational instruction booklet. For ages 8+.
