Congratulations to the winners, Zakobi Rawls and Elijah Jones, of the volcano project in Ms. Schwartz’s Earth Science class. Students had to create models of the volcano of their choice and replicate them to look like the picture they chose. Teachers then voted on the best overall and most similar to the picture. All volcanoes were great and the students had a great time making them!
