In science this week we took a closer look at natural events that can change the Earth's surface in a short period of time including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and floods. We found out that many of these events are very unlikely to happen near Spruce Grove, but also learned about how communities use research and science to help predict these events and keep them safe if they occur. Our class took a close look at rocks that are formed in some of these events, and they especially enjoyed designing structures that were stable enough to withstand our makeshift earthquake. It's so interesting to see that the Earth can change over millions of years with events like mountain building, or over the course of one short day with events like a volcanic eruption. You can take a look below to check out some of our learning on these events! Comments are closed.
