This educational activity focuses on storing nuclear waste and understanding different volcano types. Students will explore definitions and implications of active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes, alongside the nature of nuclear waste – a byproduct of energy production that poses potential dangers. The activity includes reading assignments, discussion questions, and a table-filling exercise to enhance comprehension. Participants will also engage in vocabulary building and analytical questions to deepen their understanding of how nuclear energy works and its related challenges.

Storing Nuclear Waste Activity 36
To do… • Read D-3 • Copy: • Active (volcano): A volcano that is currently erupting, showing signs that it is likely to erupt in the near future, or has erupted in recorded history. • Dormant (volcano): A volcano that has not erupted for at least 10,000 years, but according to scientists may erupt again. • Extinct (volcano): A volcano that scientist do not ever expect to erupt again. • Nuclear Waste: Radioactive (potentially dangerous) material that is disposed of because it is not useful. • Copy the Challenge Question • Read D-4 • Oldest person at table read out loud
