Young Liddy Miller's father, a geologist, is always talking about volcanoes. Then, when Liddy is 14, she witnesses a volcanic eruption firsthand. Liddy is camping with her parents near Mount St. Helens when the sleeping giant erupts.
This experience serves to peak Liddy's curiosity about volcanoes. Through kitchen sink lessons and science project experiments, Liddy learns about volcanoes. But Liddy's volcano education intensifies when she and her father pack their bags to visit volcanoes along the Pacific coast. Liddy goes on to study about volcanoes in college in Hawaii and complete fieldwork in the Philippines.
Following the adventures of Liddy and her father, your students will learn the basics of plate tectonics, and will become familiar with some of the history and science of volcanoes.
