    A few ideas

    "Magic School Bus Goes Inside the Earth" is a great book to help kick off your unit. Talks about going inside the various layers of the earth, the different types of rocks, some landforms, etc. It has a lot of information and can lead you in many different directions.

    One fun little activity you can do in conjunction with volcanoes is to create little volcanos out of playdough and then erupt them. The kids love doing this and you can have discussions on the different types and the ways they erupt along the way.

    And of course there is always the good old salt dough map to teach different landforms and regions.

    I hope this gives you a few different ideas to get the creative juices flowing!
