toc =Table214's Nature's Fury Project About Volcanoes=

Summary
Welcome to our Wiki page! Our table group consists of mey14irldnl, mey14clvev, mey14yvcky, me14hswlm, and mey14wgneml. With the permission of our teacher Mr. Garrison, we are conducting research on the destructive force of volcanoes and creating a presentation about these destructive existences in nature. On this project page, we have our Big 6 to help us all gather information to present. We have our Google Earth images to give people a visual idea what volcanoes actually look like. Plus, we have a Glog which is an online poster where we have links for learning and fun. We also have Scratch projects, interactive games or animations, about volcanoes that we've created ourselves. The conclusion segment will sum up the entire page. Last but not least, we have a credits section to show you who did what part of the wiki page and Natures Fury Project. I hope you enjoy this work of ours.

Big Six #1

 * Task Definition: What do I need to do?**

1.1
Define the information problem We need to find information about an example of nature’s fury, and since we are doing volcanoes, we need to find information about volcanoes.

1.2
Identify the information you need in order to complete the task We need to find facts about volcanoes.

List of Questions:
 * How are volcanoes created?
 * Why are there so many different kinds of volcanoes?
 * Why are volcanoes called active even when they’re not erupting?
 * Why are volcanoes called “ volcanoes”?
 * Why are some volcanoes so tall?
 * Why are volcanoes so dangerous?
 * Why do eruptions damage such a large area?
 * Why do some volcanoes become dormant?
 * Why do people live near active volcanoes?
 * Why do volcanoes erupt in explosive eruptions?

Big Six #2

 * Information Seeking Strategies: What can I use to find what I need?**

2.1
Determine the range of possible sources (brainstorm)
 * an encyclopedia
 * from a Volcanologist
 * The Internet
 * Books

2.2
Evaluate the possible sources to determine priorities (select the best sources)
 * The Internet
 * Books
 * Encyclopedia

Big Six #3

 * Location & Access: Where can I find what I need?**

3.1
Locate sources


 * The Internet**
 * [|Go to volcanodiscovery.com]
 * [|Go to woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/Homework/mountains/volcanoes.htm]
 * [|Go to fema.gov/kids/volcano.htm]
 * [|Go to www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=4886]


 * Books**

 * Volcanoes By Michael Woods and Mary B. Woods -- Go to the book


 * Encyclopedias**
 * Encyclopedia of Volcanoes -- Go to the encyclopedia
 * Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -- Go to the encyclopedia

3.2
Find information within sources



Big Six #4

 * Use of Information: What information can I use?**

4.1
Engage the source (read, listen, view, touch) We viewed the websites we have in our Glog. While I played the game on [|this website], we learned many things, like the fact that the most active volcano in the United States is in Alaska. [|This website] is very very educational too! It taught us about three different kinds of volcanoes: Stratovolcanoes, Cinder cone Volcanoes, and Shield volcanoes.

Big Six #5

 * Synthesis: What can I make to finish the job?**

5.1
Organize information from multiple sources We created a presentation made of our questions. //You can view the presentation by clicking the first link and signing in to your CLIP CUSD Google Apps Account, or download the presentation by clicking on the second link.//

5.2
Present the information We made a final presentation. //You can view the presentation by clicking the first link and signing in to your CLIP CUSD Google Apps Account, or download the presentation by clicking on the second link.//

Conclusion
If you read this page carefully, you've probably learned tons of cool facts about volcanoes like why they are called "volcanoes" or why they erupt. The best part is that it wasn't too boring, and that you got to see or play our cool Scratch games and our awesome Glog. We've left links for you to keep exploring and learning. I hope you go long ways with the information and hope you liked our Wiki page on volcanoes, one of the powerful, destructive forces of nature.
