Our students from Twelfth and Fourth Grade managed to work together to learn about earthquakes. AP Environmental Science students from Twelfth Grade designed a class for teaching students from Upper Elementary how earthquakes and volcanoes are produced, what are plate boundaries and how scientists use instruments like a seismograph to understand and register earth's crust movement. Fourth Graders had fun in an interactive class in which they practiced what to do during an earthquake, watched some videos, took quizzes and even build their own seismograph. It's a great accomplishment for students to teach each other and enjoy it so much.
Our Eleventh and Third Grade students were able to work together to learn about earthquakes. Eleventh grade AP Environmental Science students designed a class to teach Upper Elementary students how earthquakes and volcanoes occur, what plate tectonics are, and how scientists use instruments like a seismograph to understand and record the movement of the Earth. The Third Graders had fun in an interactive class where they practiced what to do during an earthquake, watched some videos, took short quizzes and even built their own seismograph. It is a great accomplishment for the students to teach each other and enjoy it so much.
