The NeMO Curriculum

The NeMO curriculum is based on real events and real data: the 1998 eruption at Axial Volcano and the rumbleometer instrument that was stuck in the new lava flow. The activities for the classroom are modeled on how scientists actually investigated this event. This curriculum is intended for middle and high school students in earth science and marine science classes. It is composed of four parts (which are each a separate file):

Part 1 - Introduction and Background Information
Part 2 - Classroom Activities
Part 3 - Movies and Animations
Part 4 - Key for Teachers (this part)

This fourth part of the NeMO curriculum includes the answers to questions posed in the Classroom Activities section (Part 2). It also contains advice for presenting the curriculum and additional background information that could be incorporated into the lessons. The NeMO curriculum is available in Powerpoint, PDF, or HTML file formats at:
