Convection Currents in the Mantle

In Science, we did an inquiry lab on convection currents. Students observed fluid movement patterns when placed over a lit candle. This movement helps them visualize movement in Earth's mantle...which causes plate movement and volcanoes (our next topics of study)!

I had to add this below...it's another Layers of the Earth project, and a VERY creative one at that - a rap. Not sure how well you can read it, but it was amazing!
