This scientific and educational film explains the typical course of an eruption of Piton de la Fournaise, one of the most active volcanoes on the planet.
By relying on the simple correlation between volcanic activity and the resulting products, this film explores the main volcanic phenomena of an eruption of this volcano, without depriving viewers of the visual and auditory beauty of the phenomenon that makes this educational material fully immersive.

This visual aid is also accompanied by an educational booklet of 28 questions/answers (in Word and PDF formats integrated into the DVD), built around the different concepts covered in the film. It allows for a simple consolidation of knowledge after viewing, testing logic and reasoning, as well as addressing the concept of volcanic risk, whether for eruption observers or neighboring populations.

Due to its content, this product fits perfectly into the curriculum taught in cycle 4. There is no doubt that it will also offer high school students a complete and detailed study of a volcanic eruption, evidence of internal terrestrial activity linked to plate tectonics.
