Nome
Analyze executes the practical activity described using Gowin's V diagram.
MATERIAL:
Board;
Balloon
Wet sand
CONCEPTUAL WING THE METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
THEORY PROBLEM CONCLUSIONS
What is the process of
formation of a boiler
volcanic?
PRINCIPLES
The more violent the
eruption, greater will be the
magma emission.
CONCEPTS RESULTS
PROCEDURE
1-Fill the balloon with air and cover the opening with your fingers to prevent the air from escaping.
2-Hold the balloon, with the opening facing up, over the board.
3-Cover the balloon with the damp sand, simulating a volcanic cone.
With care, let the air out of the balloon.
5- Observe the results.
QUESTIONS
1. With reference to the natural environment, indicate what is intended to be simulated with:
The damp sand
The balloon
The opening of the balloon
The air inside the balloon
The expulsion of air from the balloon
2. How do you explain that a pond often forms in this caldera?
3. Are there boilers with these characteristics in São Miguel? If you know of any case, please indicate which one.

PROCEDURE
1-Fill the balloon with air and cover the opening with your fingers to prevent the air from escaping.
Secure the balloon, with the opening facing up, over the board.
3-Cover the balloon with damp sand, simulating a volcanic cone.
4-With care, let the air out of the balloon.
5- Observe the results.
QUESTIONS
1. Referring to the natural environment, indicate what is intended to be simulated with:
The damp sand (volcanic cone formed by expelled volcanic materials)
The balloon (magma chamber)
The opening of the balloon (chimney/crater)
The air inside the balloon (magma)
The expulsion of air from the balloon (volcanic eruption)
2. How do you explain that a lagoon often forms in this caldera?
Due to the accumulation of rainwater or melting snow.
3. Are there any caldeiras with these characteristics in São Miguel? If you know of any case, please indicate.
which.
Yes. For example, Caldeira das Sete Cidades, of Fogo, of Furnas, and of Povoação.
