Volcanoes: How they shaped, and reshape the Hawaiian Islands.

In Science we are learning about the processes that shape our earth, both fast and slow.  Volcanoes are a fast process.  Of course volcanoes are an important element in the creation of the Hawaiian Islands. We learned that the very newest land on Earth is on the Island of Hawaii.  If you would like to watch a full PBS episode on the Kilauea Volcano click here.  Talk to your child about the lava flow experiment we did with cake batter in class.  We are getting excited to visit Kilauea in March!
