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.
