This sounds like it’s been a great talk, wish I’d heard it. You’ve all remembered a lot about it, and I’ve learned a lot from your comments.

There are some amazing high quality satellite photos of volcanos on the Volcano World web site - look at the bottom of the column on the right for a link.

I just noticed there’s lots more you can find out about volcanos in a special education section on Volcano World here:
http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/education/index.html

And you might want to have a look at this (it’s YouTube, so you’ll need to watch it at home!) - an attempt at the World’s Largest Baking Soda and Vinegar volcano!
http://volcanoworld.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/largest-volcano/

Maybe you could make a slightly smaller one…
