Kilauea's Lava Flow
Link: Kilauea's Lava Flow
Students get the chance to meet 5-ESS2-1: "Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact" by using maps and their own calculations to estimate when the lava from Kilauea (geosphere) will reach the town of Pāhoa (biosphere). By doing these calculations, Grade 5 students will be using their knowledge of the Base 10 system and will be exposed to basic ratios. This is a great end of the year activity to help prepare them for the transition to Grade 6.
