- Making less explosive, shield volcano eruptions
- Differentiating volcanoes that are prone to pyroclastic eruptions from their less violent cousins, the shield volcanoes
- Connecting the Earth's crust to real rocks by identifying which rocks are most common in oceanic crust versus continental crust
- Experimenting with and learning to identify igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
- Making your own sedimentary rock
