PELE’S PEAK
DownloadConnect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Students transform into expert volcanologists by the end of this unit, literally bringing volcanoes to life.
Working in cooperative groups called Trekking Trios, students travel to Hawaii in a quest to reach the top of Pele’s Peak. On their journey they are challenged to complete Volcano Vocabulary, compose an original myth, write a letter to a volcanologist, and research a volcano and the Hawaiian Islands. Students record each day’s events in a Lava Log, and complete team tasks to earn Fate cards. They build model volcanoes and erupt them at the culminating luau, which also features Hawaiian music, food, and a skit showcasing what the students have learned. Includes a Pele’s Peak poster. Unmodified, 10 class periods.
