Grade 10s delve deep beneath the surface
With a passion for the subject, learners astounded the class with their project presentations.
The grade 10 learners at Crawford Ruimsig embarked on an exploration of the world of ‘Geomorphic Processes’.
With a focus on volcanoes and earthquakes, these budding geologists delved deep into the dynamics of these powerful phenomena, undertaking extensive research and creating models that illustrate the mechanics behind these events.
Their coursework demands a sharp eye for detail, as they research a specific volcanic or earthquake event of their choosing and evaluate the risks and impacts, to humans and the environment.
Each learner showcased their remarkable research skills and creative talents in visualising the intricate workings of Geomorphic Processes.
Jessica Peffer showcased a demonstration on her hand-built wooden model, of the tear fault that occurred when the Arabian plate boundary slid past the Anatolian plate boundary and caused the 7.8 Turkey/ Syria earthquake.
Kagiso Mothoagae intrigued the class with a volcano eruption display using vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, and food colouring.
All of their projects offered brilliant interpretations of how volcanic or earthquake events occur while evaluating and explaining the risks and impacts they pose to humans and the environment.
