Our 8th grade science students have been busy exploring the forces that shape our planet! In class, students worked on a plate tectonic boundaries and convection current lab, using hands-on models to see how heat transfer in Earth’s mantle drives the movement of tectonic plates.
Through investigation, collaboration, and critical thinking, students connected real-world processes to earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.






Cougars fall, 57-27, to a tough Monroe City squad in the opening round of the Palmyra Tournament.
