== __The Giant Awakens! __ ==





= =

The giant awakens and the skies darken as ash and soot rain down on a remote tropical island. The volcano—now a ticking time bomb—has come to life once again and the residents of Montserrat worry about their fate. As flaming pebbles and lava begin to devastate the countryside, emergency response teams learn a hurricane is approaching. Fortunately, the Space Shuttle is dispatched and makes repairs on a satellite to transmit real-time data about the hurricane and volcano. With this medley of disasters looming, Mission Control scrambles to assemble a team of specialists to assist the island residents. Operation Montserrat is an electronic mission that challenges students to apply their science and math skills to an authentic crisis situation. During the two-hour e-Mission, student specialists serve as members of a team: volcano, hurricane, evacuation, or communication.
 * Will the hurricane make landfall?
 * Will the volcano explode?
 * Will the residents need to be evacuated?
