I have chosen to do my google earth tour concerning volcanoes and the different volcanoes.  I have chosen to do 5th Grade Science Standard 2: Students will understand that volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering, and erosion reshape Earth's surface.  Objective 2: Explain how volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift affect Earth’s surface.  After looking at different kinds of volcanoes and viewing the area around them I hope that the students will more fully understand why and how volcanoes are formed and the characteristics of volcanoes.  This will follow the beginnings of the lesson.  I think this would be an easier way to view the area around the volcanoes and to find little blurbs about each different kind of volcano, which would be easier and more enjoyable then using a map on the wall.  This will allow them to see the area.  I chose this topic because i think volcanoes would be interesting to learn about.
