USE THIS SKILLS PAGE WITH THE COVER STORY’S LESSON PLAN
Living Near LavaIn “Disaster Creeps In,” you learned about the eruption of a volcano named Kilauea in Hawaii. Below is another article about the same volcano. It was written in 2013, before lava from Kilauea started flowing toward the nearby town of Pahoa. Read the article, then use information from both texts to complete the tasks below.
What’s it like to see a volcano up close? A group of students in Hawaii know. They go to school next to Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
The Volcano School is about 1 mile from Kilauea. “Most people never get to see lava or how [Hawaii’s] land is made,” says student Kai Gonzalez-White. “We do!”
Kai and his classmates often take field trips to the volcano. They hike across hardened pools of lava, called lava lakes. They look at the remains of a forest that was wiped out by a
past eruption. They even get to eat lunch near a steam vent. “I like getting out of the classroom to see how our island was created,” says Kai.
Each day, scientists called volcanologists study Kilauea. They warn people about heavy lava flows. They also measure the levels of poisonous gases, called vog. If there is too much vog in the air, the students at Volcano School can’t have recess outside. Vog also stinks. “We have to hold our noses if the vog is coming,” says Adrian Cellini, another student at that school.
