Skyping with Yellowstone National Park

So for science this week we have been learning about land forms! The kids have blown me away with their interest in this topic...especially the volcanoes! Yesterday we Skyped with Ranger Mike from Yellowstone National Park...
He talked about all the landforms found in Yellowstone and showed us lots of cool pictures!!!! 
The kids loved hearing about the volcanoes under the hot springs! 
They asked some amazing questions...like..."how are hills formed?"
"Does the lava inside the volcano get cold when it is snowing?" "How are rocks formed?" "How hot is the lava?" "Can you swim in the hot springs?" 
Seriously??? I love these kids and their brilliant thinking! Ranger Mike was super awesome at explaining the answers to these questions in kid friendly language!
