Jacob and Jessie have performed scientific experiments to make their own volcanoes using chemical reactions.  You can find out more about how to make your own volcanic eruption here:

Luke recommends a natural disaster survival game from Roblox, or you could try this one:

Will is part of the virtual crowd watching tonight's match between Exeter City and Northampton.
