Notes to Teacher

Be sure to emphasize that volcanic activity is a result of the

interplay between heat, pressure, and time.

The geyser, Old Faithful, erupts every 35 to 120 minutes. You

might want to have students work on another activity while they

wait to view an eruption on the webcam. Another option is to

watch archived videos of past eruptions of Old Faithful.
