Things are heating up in 6th grade science! Students investigated convection in the Earth's mantle through a hands-on lab. Using candles, students explored how temperature differences cause movement within fluids—just like the molten rock beneath Earth’s crust. This engaging experiment helped students visualize convection currents and better understand how they drive plate tectonics and shape our planet over time. Science is truly glowing in 6th grade!
