This Week in CLIC

6th Grade Science Pangaea Project

11/8/2019

Ms. Strobl's 6th Grade Science classes came to CLIC to do hands on projects based on what they are learning in science this month.  Ms. Strobl has been teaching about continental drift, tectonic plates, Pangaea, and scientific evidence of how the continents have moved over time.  Students applied what they have learned to create movable scientific models of Pangaea.  They worked collaboratively in groups representing each continent.  Students had to research and create 3-dimensional continents with mountain ranges, volcanoes, and land forms. They learned how to model and sculpt with plaster. Groups had to work together to have their continents and evidence match up.  Continent groups also created fossil evidence and scientific labels so that viewers would learn about continental drift from their display.  

Classes went on to further their understanding by creating models of the earth's layers and tectonic plate models.  The end results were fit for a science museum.
