This week in science, we mostly learned about tech-tonic plates and viscosity. Tech-tonic plates are plates of the earth that move and cause earthquakes. They cause earthquakes when they move because they are basically holding the earth together underneath and when they slide against each other, they cause a disturbance above. The other thing we learned about this week is viscosity. Viscosity is basically the thickness of a liquid or how easy it is to get through. The Viscosity of a substance can range from high to low. We also popped our volcano and saw how high or low the viscosity of the magma was.SP2: Developing and using models
This week we also popped our volcanoes. This allowed me to see the viscosity of the magma and got to experience different types of viscosities for each magma. I understood how a volcano works and how it builds up after it hardens better with this model.
