    An eruption begins when pressure on a magma chamber forces magma up through the conduit and out the volcano's vents. When magma reaches the earth's surface it is called lava. It may pour out in gentle streams called lava flows to erupt violently into the air.

    Does the Sun have any effects on volcanism?

    Stick the bottle in the middle using sellotape.

    Put a scratch of paper around it to create a shape of a volcano.

    Get a flour and water to create a paper mache

    Tomorrow When The War Began- Chapter 9


    Why, in Ellie’s opinion, is Cobbler’s Bay and Wirrawee so important to the invaders?
    ANSWER: Maybe that is one of their tactics.


    Corrie and Ellie reminisce about how innocent they were in high school and even a few days ago. Why were they still innocent then?
    Why are they no longer innocent?
    ANSWER: They did not assume that invasions and wars will happen to their country. So they live their lives full of happiness and good memories.

    Why does Homer think splitting up is a good idea?
    ANSWER: Homer has a good idea for splitting into two groups because if they in a big group they can easily get all of them, but if you are into small groups their some of your group still alive.

    Why do you think the author added the few lines about an Australian jet flying overhead.
    ANSWER: The author added this so that it could have more information or detail that war is happening. War is not a war if the invaded country doesn't do anything.

    By blowing up Corrie’s house, what does the invading force demonstrate to the teenagers?
    ANSWER: They showed that they can do anything, even harm anyone, who does not obey them.

    Why do you think Corrie reacted the way she did?
    ANSWER: Who wouldn't feel the same way as she did? Our homes are full of rich memories that represent us.
