I. MELC: Describe the different types of volcanoes and volcanic eruption.
II. CONTENT/TOPIC: Types of Volcanoes
III. KEY CONCEPTS:
Three types of Volcanoes
1. Cinder Cone volcanoes- not very high but has a narrow base and steep sides. It is
formed from pyroclastic materials. Example is Paricutin volcano in Mexico.
2. Composite volcano- is built by alternating layers of rock particles and lava. Example
is Mayon Volcano in Albay, Bulusan volcano in Sorsogon and Mount Fuji in Japan.
3. Shield volcano- has built large area from accumulated basaltic lava flows. Example is
Taal volcano in Batangas

IV. LEARNING ACTIVITIES:

Mini-Task #1
Volcanic Eruption
Directions:
1. The class will be divided into 7 groups based on the 7 continents of the world.
2. Each student will identify a volcano from the assigned continent to the group.
3. From your chosen volcano, you will create replicate it using low-cost materials
available at home.
4. The constructed volcanic model should have the following criteria: it should erupt
accurately using the standard materials listed below. And should think of an
engineering solution to help the nearby community mitigate from impending
volcanic disaster.
5. Ensure to take a video while performing the activity.
a. In creating your model
b. While your volcano is erupting
c. Mitigation Plan

Materials:
Standard Materials: Baking soda, Vinegar, Food Color (Red or Orange)
Complete Materials used of crating your own model (mention specific measurement
used in the mini-task, especially the usage of baking soda, vinegar and food color.

PROFILING (Input your references for every information provided)

a. Name of the Volcano
Eyjafjallajökull Volcano
b. Shape of the Volcano
The shape of the volcano is cone shaped.
c. Volcanic Activity
The volcanic activity of the volcano is dormant.
d. Last Eruption of the Volcano
March – May 2010
e. Number of casualties base on the last eruption
Fortunately, the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull did not result in any direct casualties.
f. Volcanic Explosivity Index
The VEI is 4.
g. Volcanic Engineering Mitigation Plan applied to your model (you may use the
space under the rubric if this is not enough)
