6th and 8th grade have been studying Earth's
Tectonic Plates, and plate boundaries. Feel free to ask any 6th or 8th grader
about Continental Drift, and the three different types of plate
boundaries.
The 8th graders used yogurt, wax paper, and foil to simulate plate
movement at the Mid- Atlantic Ridge; rising and cooling magma and are part of
the sea – floor spreading.
The 6th graders used foil and their hand, modeled the 3 types of plate movements. The students observed the various geological activity and landforms.
The 4th grade also learned about tectonic plates! It is the tectonic plates that create volcanoes! Our volcano is about to erupt very soon!
