I used the Mountain and Volcanoes lesson plans from MaterAmabilis.org as an outline for my third grader last year. At times I modified the lessons, but we enjoyed the study.

My youngest was in third last year so the books she used would apply.

My kids 7, 10, 13 are reading through these on their own with discussion . This is sort of an on the side set of books for us, not an official study.
