GeoNight at our school: Volcanoes, Earth and space

Description:

During the Night of Geography, our school hall will become a guided geography path with checkpoints marked by arrows and signs. Visitors will follow the route while students present their handmade models and explain key Earth and space processes.
The exhibition includes models of:
the Solar System,
the internal structure of the Earth,
volcanoes and Earth’s internal forces.
Fifth-grade students will act as “young geography guides”, presenting each checkpoint and answering questions. The event ends with a short interactive quiz.
