This activity introduces the concepts of lava viscosity and influence on volcanic cone shape. The download includes background information for teachers and an activity sheet for students. The activity involves making lava slime and racing this down a slope. Participants are asked to predict how lava viscosity might influence volcanic shape (a hypothesis) and then observe what does happen and relate this to the natural environment.
