The kit is simple, yet educational.  There are 3 rock samples, an informative book about volcanic structures and types, and some history.  The plastic model is a good replica for recreating an at home eruption.  This kit can be used as a facilitator for more in depth learning activities like using current events, writing more detailed reports, and checking a globe to learn about geographic locations.  We purchased the kit through Scholastic for $10.00 at http://www.scholastic.com/parents/resources/article/more-reading-resources/scholastic-reading-club
