Breaking News!


Students in The Hive recently concluded an in-depth exploration into the types of forces that shape Earth. As part of their investigation, they explored the theory of plate tectonics and how this type of Earth movement can produce dramatic changes in the earth's crust. Students took a deep dive into the volcano and earthquake epicenter of the world, The Ring of Fire. They analyzed and interpreted maps of the deep ocean trenches and volcanoes and identified patterns of these features and their locations relative to boundaries between continents and oceans. The driving question: How does geography affect how and where people live? 

Each student produced a breaking news story about the human impact of living in these volatile regions of the world, some of which can be viewed below. Enjoy!
