Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science From the soil and rocks beneath our feet to our connection to the Moon and Sun, the story of Earth is a fascinating one — and most of what is known about the Earth has been gathered through observation and interpretation. Encourage students’ curiosity, help them sharpen their skills of observation and interpretation, foster their development of science knowledge, and share with them the excitement of exploring Earth and the solar system by participating in this course.
Use clues about volcanoes to find out where they're located
Using clues about their behavior, history, and
appearance, try to locate where on the globe these volcanoes

them to help you.
To begin, choose one of the case studies below the map on
the right. If you want, you can read more about plate
boundaries before you begin.
