Plate Tectonics Theory

1.)  Plate Tectonics Theory.
2.) We used a candy bar to show how it works.
3.) We pushed it, and pulled it a few times.
4.) I saw a circular formation with landforms of Chocolate.
5.) Chocolate represented Land and formations, and caramel was Lava.
~ Tucker Laws

The theory that we were talking about was plate tectonics theory. We imitated it with a Milky Way chocolate bar. We smooshed the chocolate bar to form plates. Then we pulled the chocolate bar apart and pushed it together again. The coating of chocolate were overlapping each other and this representing the different land forms such as mountains, valleys, volcanoes, etc. The caramel represented magma or lava. After all that hard work, we ate it of course. This was the best part of all. ~Jacinda Misico

1.  The theory was Plate Tectonics.
2. We imitated it by using a milky way bar.
3. The steps we had to follow were to open the wrapper. Then we had to take the candy bar out and pit it on the wrapper. Then we squeezed the sides together to make plates. Then we squeezed the candy bar until it formed a weird shape. Then we showed are neighbors are weirdly shaped candy bar, And last but not least my favorite part, we ate the milky way candy bar. Yuummmm!
4. The saw a weirdly shaped candy bar.
5. The chocolate shell that was sticking out was representing mountains or volcanoes. The caramel and whipped chocolate in the center was the lava, which was pouring out of the volcanoes. ~Gerald Eipperle

The theory of plate tectonics.  We smooched a milky way.  Smooshed and sides; push pull. I saw mountains and lava.  Carmel was lava and the chocolate was mountains.
~Thomas Peters

1.The theory was plate Tectonics.
2.We smooshed a milky way.
3.We  followed these steps smoosh sides, push & pulled
4.We saw mountains, lava, cramel, magma, valleys
5.The different ingredients were water trenches hot lava plates modulations  ~Natasha Florian

Today we talked about Plate tectonics. We smashed a Milky Way candy bar. It was awesome. We smashed the sides then pulled and then smashed the Milky Way back to together.  It made mountains,lava,magma, and valleys. The different ingredients represent water, trenches, hot lava, plates, and mountains.  ~Kayla Kosiboski

1.The theory was Plate Tectonics.
2.We smooshed the  Milky Way.
3.We had to follow steps like smooshed sides, push, pull.
4.I saw mountains, lava, caramel, magma, valleys.
5.The caramel lava the chouclet was mountains and the meadiate was waters.

We were talking about Plate Tectonic Theory. We imitated it by making little cracks in the chocolate of the Milky Way bar that we used. First we unwrapped the candy. Then we pushed on the sides of the candy bar and made cracks. After that we pushed on it more so then we could see caramel and then we described the landforms to the person who sat next to us. We saw caramel coming out of the bar. The caramel represented lava and the chocolate described the land and plates. ~Kayla Feil

Today we talked about the plate tectonic theory. We imitated it with Milky Way candy bars. We pretended that the Milky Way was our earth. First we unwrapped our candy bars very carefully. Then we pushed the sides and the top in. It formed many plates. When we got done pushing it together and making landforms, we told our partners about them. I said the chocolate outer layer represented the plate tectonics and the carmel represented lava, so when the plate tectonics shifted it caused the lava to come up from beneath the surface forming a volcano.  .Also the caramel  could represent rivers. I thought this project was a lot of fun. ~Louise Barnard

The theory we were talking about was the plate tectonics theory.
We imitated it by a milky way candy bar by pinching the sides and the top and  bottom. That made the plates we needed to imitate it.
The steps we follow were take the wrapper off without  destroying the candy bar, then pinching the sides, the top, and bottom, then pull the sides apart and put it back together.
I saw that the plates were bumping into each other and some plates formed different land forms .
The caramel represented the magma and the chocolate represented the plates.  ~Caitlin Zielinski

The plate tectonics. we used Milky Way candy bars. (they were delicious) =). We did four steps. The first is to compress the sides, Top and Bottom. Then the sides.
Second we had to tear it, then we had to push it back together. Third we identified the landmasses. I saw a volcano, valley and a cave. The different ingredients made my planet. It was called Chocolate. fourth we ate it. ( Elijah is happy when the chocolate touched his lips.) =) There what we did and how.  ~Elijah Hayes

The theory we were talking about is the plate techtonic theory. We imitated it by the candy Milky Way. The steps we had to follow were peel off the wrapper carefully, then push the sides together and the tops to, then we had to pull it apart and push it back together. Then we got to eat it. We saw what looked normally like a smooshed candy bar but it was the landforms, forming and overlapping and split. It looked kind of cool. The chocolate represented volcanoes and mountains, the nugget and caramel parts represented lava.  ~Hanah Gilbert

The theory we were talking about was Plate Tectonics. How we imitated is was we smooshed a milky way.
The steps we had to follow were smooch sides; pushed & pulled.  We saw mountains, lava, caramel, magma, valleys.
The different ingredients represented water trenches, hot lava, plate  ~Danielle Renwick

We were talking about the plate tectonics theory in Geography this week. We took milky way and crushed it to make it look like plates moving in the earth. The first thing we did was take out the milky way very carefully and then we smashed the sides and the top. After that we pulled it a part and pushed it back together to form volcanoes, mountains and valleys. Then we ate it. We saw how the plates move and form different land forms. The chocolate was the mountains and the caramel was the magma. ~Jarett Sovereign

What theory were we talking about? The theory of  Plate Tectonics.
How did we imitate it? We used a Milky Way Candy Bar.
What steps did we have to follow? The steps we had to follow were we had to form the planet than identify the landforms.
What did we see? We saw that when you followed the directions you saw the different landforms.
What did the different ingredients represent? The Carmel represented the magma and the Chocolate represented the different landforms.
~Andrew Clarke

Today we talked about the plate tectonics theory. We pretended a candy bar milky way was the Earth. First we had to get it out of the wrapper without touching it. Then we smushed the sides and the top and bottom together. After that we had to pull and push it together until we got plates. The last thing we had to do was eat it. We saw mountains forming. We also saw lava and volcanoes. The chocolate represented the hills, mountains, and volcanoes forming. The lava was represented by the caramel. I thought this assignment was a great way to show how the plates move. ~Janique Berard

The theory we were talking about plate tectonics. We imitated the world with a Milky Way bar. The steps were to open the rapper very carefully, than we needed to make the plates by squishing the top and sides of the, than we had to push and pull the bar to make land forms. You could see the mountains, canyons, and volcanoes. The caramel showed the lava and the chocolate showed the mountains and volcanoes. That was what we did in Geography. ~Jon Eno

Plate Tectonics. Using a Milky Way bar as a planet. We opened the wrapper, made plates by squeezing the bar, and then pulled and pushed the milky way together to make them clash and make landforms. I saw Volcanoes, mountains, and a valley. The bar was the planet, the caramel was magma, and the chocolate was the plates. ~Eric Heckman

1. Plate Tectonics.
2. We used a milky way and pretended it was a planet, and we pushed them together to make plates.
3.In step one we took the milky way out of the wrapper, step two we pushed the sides in, step three we pulled it in and out till it was a weird shape.
4. I saw chocolate pieces  everywhere and caramel coming out the sides, it was cool.
5. The caramel was lava or volcanoes forming, the chocolate pieces that where sticking up where mountains, and the flat landforms where valleys and plains.
(the reason I said where in question 5 is because I ate the milky way)  
~Anna Brown

We talked about the plate tectonic theory. We tried to imitate it by taking a mini milky way candy bar and crushing it to make it look like plate tectonics on a planet. The first thing we had to do was to take the rapper off. Then we had to  push the sides together to make it look like plates. The last thing we had to do was pull the candy bar apart and back together a couple times so it looked like mountains, lava, and other landforms. In the end it looked like a volcanoes and lava. The caramel represented lava and magma and the chocolate represented landforms  like mountains. ~Megan Schneider

The theory that we were talking about was plate tectonics.
We imitated it with a milky way. we pulled and pushed it together.
We had to follow the directions of pull it apart push it together much it.
I saw plates moving around.
It represented the plate tectonics theory.
