Lesson Highlights: 

Find out why Earth is like an onion! 
Students will quite literally travel through the crust and mantle down to the Earths core to see what it's like down there.
​
We also discover how earthquakes happen and get a unique view of how volcanoes are formed. Followed by some group discussion about mitigation measures and how communities are kept safe.
​
And as always, time permitting, some nature appreciation time with free choice videos!

Gr 8-10 
We cover the above topics a little more briefly and focus more on plate tectonics, the rock cycle (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) and minerals and their uses.
