Science: What is Inside the Earth?

From examining soil on the surface of the earth, the girls are moving on to learn about the nature of the earth's crust and what lies beneath it.  Earth Science is even more interesting when you understand that what is below can cause the tectonic plates to move and affect the earth's crust.  After learning about Mt. Vesuvius and its impact on Pompeii in Social Studies, the girls got to experience the eruption of our very own Mt. Mawr in the Science Center.  They enjoyed seeing a model of a volcano in action!
