Is a volcanic eruption coming? In this activity, we reveal the mysteries of the Earth’s interior and experiment to discover that waves created inside the Earth are responsible for earthquakes. We will then put ourselves in the shoes of geologists who are experts in building a tool capable of detecting earthquakes and possibly volcanic eruptions. We will make our seismograph.

A team of scientists is asking us for help to find out if Espai Cràter is really inside a volcano. We will be acting just like geologists and carrying out scientific research, putting scientific method into practice. To perform  our investigation, we’ll be collecting samples in the field, before analysing them in the laboratory, where we will go on to look at the properties of the minerals found (their porosity, magnetism, electrical conductivity, fluorescence, etc.) and so be able to confirm our hypothesis.  After that we will look into the work of volcanologists, how they work and what tools they use, and we’ll see how a seismograph works. Finally, we’ll look at why it is so important to look after the environment and find out about social movements like “Salvem els volcans” (Save the volcanoes), before making a short video to help promote sustainability.
