Pompeii

Volcanoes, one of the easiest model to work with history and arts and craft at the same time.

On this ocassion, we were learning about the Roman empire and I decided to talk about Pompeii. This magical city can make children learn how volcanoes work, discriminate the layers and having fun creating their own model.

All you need:

-water

-paint brush

-paint

-paper

-polystirene cubes

-glue

-small and flat piece of wood (base)

-cellotape

Steps:

1- Create a mountain with paper and cellotape 

2- Cover the whole surface with paper and glue it with a mixture made of glue and water

3- Add the polystirene cubes in order to create the devastated village

4- Paint everything carefully

5- Label the parts 

Students can work individualy or in groups depending on the age and how many lessons we can spend to make the model.
