The Bottom Line
Through games and simple experiments, children learn plenty of facts about volcanoes in this cheerful and well-designed activity center. Though it is easy to bypass much of the program's educational content, kids with a sincere interest in the subject matter will benefit from this title's abundant learning opportunities.

Some of the activities offered take the form of educational experiments. In one, children make their own volcano by playing with two variables — the thickness of the magma, and the amount of gas — then watch how their volcano erupts. In another, kids compare different types of real-world volcanoes (like St. Helens and Mauna Loa) by taking a closer look at their features, including lava flow, sound, and ash.

Short volcano videos show lava flow and underwater smoke, and a map features 10 "clickable" volcanoes from around the world that offer important characteristics of each. The life of a volcano is demonstrated in another activity. Children can follow the stages and see how a volcano is formed and develops and, finally, what happens when it erupts.


Games include picture puzzles featuring stunning photographs of volcanoes that need to be pieced back together and an arcade-style game that plays much like Frogger, only players lead the school bus across a lava flow by strategically hopping onto logs and rescuing animals along the way for bonus points. In Rub-a-Dub Sub, kids navigate a submarine, collect rocks, and dodge assorted obstacles including heat vents and lava. Yet another fast-paced game entitled Operation Rescue requires children to guide lava down the mountain and away from the town using concrete blocks.



 Skills Covered
Children learn about the features and characteristics of volcanoes from around the world. They explore the life of a volcano, its components, the effects it has, and the tools seismologists use.


 Design
This program is thoughtfully designed and especially easy to use. Where appropriate, the CD-ROM employs multiple levels of difficulty and the arcade games feature increasing levels of challenging game-play. Closed-captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing is easy to turn on and off.
