Now that you have activated your background knowledge, it is time to explore the changes in Earth's surfaces.

Exploring volcanoes //Create a 4 shutter foldable of the Earth. You will need:// Cut your map around the outside. Be sure to keep the degress of latitude and longitude on the map. Glue your map in the middle of the blue foldable so that the shutters close directly on the intersection between the Prime Meridian and Equator.
 * large blue construction paper
 * world map
 * colored pencils
 * glue
 * scissors
 * textbook
 * Dark colored marker

Use a marker to make the following labels. Label across the top of the closed foldable //Northern Hemisphere//, and across the bottom of the closed foldable write //Southern Hemisphere//. Now look in the textbook to label the front of the four shutters with the 4 hemispheres of the world.

Opening each of the four (4) hemispheres separately, color all the land in that hemisphere the same color. So the land on your map should be 4 different colors.

Be sure to include a compass rose on your map.
