Sixth graders have been learning about plate boundaries in the theory of plate tectonics. Students built a city out of play doh and Legos on top of boards which represented two plates. Then the three different plate boundaries were tested with students recording the amount of damage.

Sixth grade density lab. Students tested 5 different liquids to determine how the liquids compared in their densities. Studying density helps students understand how scientists believe the earth’s layers have formed.
