Plate Tectonics and The Egg!



Our current science chapter is "Plate Tectonics and the Earth's Structure". We have been learning about the layers of the earth, the idea that the crust is broken up into plates, and the idea that those plates are moving very slowly. So, in order for students to get a grasp on this information we conducted an Egg Lab. Students used a hard-boiled egg to find correlations between the earth and the egg. It is a great lab with a tasty treat at the end (if you like hard-boiled eggs).
