Science:
This week students will be:
- Studying Alfred Wegener’s theory of Continental Drift though the creation of Pangaea, an ancient super-continent.
- Exploring how the Earth is constantly recycling Earth’s crust through mid-ocean ridges and deep-ocean trenches
- Analyzing the theory of Plate Tectonics, or the idea that all of Earth’s crust is made of tectonic plates which float on top of the Earth’s mantle
