The scientific phenomena of the Earth is fascinating!  For the past several weeks, the 8th graders have been learning about the movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates and how these plates create the amazing continental and oceanic geographical formations on the surface of the Earth.  Students are exploring the evidence that change in the Earth’s surface has occurred in the past and continues today.  With a deeper understanding of what has happened in the past, students will be constructing models of plate movement mechanisms and the phenomena that result from this movement.  Stay tuned as we get closer to the Earthquake Project.
