Mrs. Pearce's 4th grade class observed how Earth's forces can impact Earth's surface. During the experiment they used clay to represent layers of rock and small classroom objects represented fossils. They discovered how the rock layers shifted when the Earth moved and what effect that movement had on the fossils. Trojan Proud!
