Sixth-Grade Science Erupts … with Whipped Cream

During a science study of the earth’s composition, sixth-graders learned that re-creating natural disasters can be extremely dynamic and volatile. Students made three-dimensional models of volcanoes during their in-depth study of earthquakes and volcanoes. Their creations had to be able to erupt either with lava, ash, or both.

“I am so proud of their creativity. These students did an exceptional job,” said Middle School science instructor Leah Pels. “Some of the most unique projects utilized whipped cream, ash and air pumps, and dry ice.”
