Year 8 have focused on the Scheme of work 'Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes and Volcanoes over the last term. Within the topics the students have learnt about:
 |
| Plates tectonics using a boiled egg. |
 |
| Earthquake evacuation procedures. |
 |
| Earthquake-proof buildings to save an egg (please see pictures below). |
 |
      
The learning received in the classroom was then consolidated outside with a visit to the Natural History Museum where students were able to witness volcanic eruptions and objects such as pumice rock fragments. The highlight was experiencing a real-life earthquake. Please see the other article or part of the blog to see this experience.
Students were given the task of making their own volcanoes in groups of 3 or 4 to explode. They used the link below and followed YouTube clips.
I am please to announce that a member of 8E (you know who you are from the photo of your volcano) wins a free place at Thorpe Park in May courtesy of the Geography department. Please see me to collect your prize- a truly amazing effort!
