5th Grade - Volcanoes

This STREAM-based art activity combined the science of volcanoes with the art of paper mache and techniques in painting texture, landscape, lava flows and in a couple examples even paint the surface of Mars to recreate a model of Olympus Mons. Students will also be required to label the key parts of their volcano.

Students viewed the artists and archaeologists who studied the city of Pompeii, learning about the famous casts and the stages of eruption. The videos below were used in art to further reinforce the students' understanding of the concepts learned in Science.

Check back for some exciting photos and the upcoming "Eruption Day 2017".
