Take cover! Adventure with the Earth Explorer to some of the world’s most dangerous places in our Volcanoes & Earthquakes KS2 Workshop! Your pupils will learn about our extreme earth by visiting the sites of natural disasters, exploring the stages of a volcano and the causes and effects of an earthquake.

Why choose our Volcanoes and Earthquakes KS2 Workshop?

  • In this dynamic and interactive workshop, your children will join the Earth Explorer on their latest expedition – a whistle-stop tour of the Earth, stopping off at some of the world’s most notorious volcanoes and in countries regularly affected by earthquakes.
  • Your pupils will meet the Earth Explorer, an adventure-loving traveller who is fascinated by the world and its wonders.
  • Along the way, they will explore the stages of a volcano, consider the causes and effects of an earthquake, and learn about the Richter scale. Using drama techniques such as mime and tableau, they will also experience what it would be like to be caught up in a natural disaster – and even get the chance to role-play a tsunami.
