Students in Mrs. Tietz class went outside to do enrichment. They drew the plate boundaries (convergent, divergent and transform) with chalk. They then used shaving cream to act as the mantle and cut up paper towel rolls to act as the tectonic plates. They moved the plates over the mantle to show how the tectonic plates move at convergent, divergent and transform boundaries. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
