Use fun experiments to teach the scientific method instead of trying to impart on them a superficial understanding of chemistry and geology (in the case of the volcano).
For math, try to address any form of mathematical anxiety. I think that is more important than whatever knowledge you could teach them, but if you can make it engaging I recommend introducing some logic and naive set theory. Combinatorial problems are also easily illustrated with physical objects and can serve as an introduction to probability theory.
