We learned about the 7 continents and 4 layers of the earth. We even took 4 layers of Play Doh to re-create the earths layers. Margot learned about the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. I think this qualifies as geology

Science

• Margot learned about the 7 continents and their locations on the map.
• She identified and named the four layers of the Earth: crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
• Margot gained hands-on experience by creating the Earth's layers using Play-Doh, which helped her understand the composition and structure of the Earth.
• She demonstrated understanding of the concept of geology by applying knowledge of the Earth's layers and continents.

For continued development, encourage Margot to create a poster or a model of the Earth's layers using arts and crafts materials. This could involve painting, sculpting, or using other creative techniques to deepen her understanding of geology and the Earth's structure.
