If there's an earthquake, who you gonna call? Grade 4!
As part of their science studies, Ms. Morrell's students are learning about earthquakes: how they occur, how to respond, and even what to pack in an earthquake kit, etc. In the photos above, they constructed replicas of the earth using plasticine and identified all the earth's layers. Are you prepared for the big one?
