This last summer the boys and I made volcanoes here at home. (See the 'Science' tab to your right.) I'm now prepping materials to take that same project to my youngest son's school. Thinking back to our summer projects, I was reminded of the home movies we made using our volcano creations.

This project was relatively quick. Older children can write out their script (a great opportunity to practice those writing/thinking muscles), take the photos, and order the items within the movie software. Younger children can talk through their ideas with an adult (and in this case, look to their older sibling for guidance.)
Here's the basics:
1) Make your volcanoes.
2) Build your Lego scientist character and vehicle.
3) Write your script/plan.
4) Set it up outside and take a dozen or so sequential photos.
5) Record video of eruption.
6) Drop these photos and video into Movie Maker.
7) Add sound effects.
8) Edit and add narration.
9) Unveil your masterpiece and share it with friends.
10) Bask in the applause.

If you create a volcano video- please let me know.
