Plate Tectonics
We modeled plate tectonics with food. Check out these examples!
***A convergent boundary is a place where two plates push together. This type of collision can create mountains.
***A divergent boundary is a place where two plates pull apart from one another. These can cause trenches to form and volcanic activity to increase.
***A transform boundary is a place where plates slip past each other in opposite directions. Earthquakes often form along these boundaries.

Welcome, Josh King!
We are so excited to welcome a new TA into our classroom, Josh King! Josh has a special love of math and science as he aspires to be a nurse soon. His wonderful leadership and gigantic sense of humor are already a blessing. Here he helps students create prototypes of birdfeeders designed to attract certain types of birds as part of our animal studies.
