YES!!!! ANOTHER Science Project..

This project is centered around our unit on plate tectonics. Students will draw a project out of a bucket. The possible project themes are.... earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami, Earth's layers, and or mid ocean ridges. Students will also present their project in class. Students will have until after Christmas to complete it.

* Students will make a project at home. I would encourage using house hold items and not bought kits. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT :) I'm looking for creativity.

Student will also include a 1 page written report about their project including but not limited to these questions:
* What plate boundary is responsible for the creation of your project?
* Where is a real life example located on the earth of your project?
* What kind of damage can your project create in real life?
* Write a section about how you made your project.
* What did you make it out of?Who helped you?
* How long did it take to build?

Project is to be turned in Jan 8!!!!!!!!!!!!
