Madam How and Lady Why links

In our study of natural science, we are studying about Volcano's. It is fascinating that such a simple structure could be the cause of so much destruction- Amazing! But we also learned that Volcano's can also improve the habitats of native plants and animals as seen in Italy where the ground is incredibly fertile due to the volcanic ash left in the soil.

Speaking of Italy, here is a link to a video about the sad tale of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius Watch here:http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/pompeii/pliny/video.html

This is a neat link as well: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/kids/forces-of-nature-kids/volcanoes-101-kids.html

Happy Volcano learning!
