## Resource

Discover how volcanoes work, the difference between magma and lava, and why immense underground pressure creates volcanic eruptions. Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy as they shake up a fizzy soda experiment to understand how sticky and runny lava shapes our planet. Along the way, explore how these fiery mountains act as Earth's safety valve and build brand-new islands! Learning Connection: NGSS DCI: ESS2.A – Earth Materials and Systems
