Grade 6 Geology Exposition

Mr. Viggiani's Sixth Grade class prepared models and exhibits to illustrate geological forms.




A representation of Yellowstone Park's "Beehive Geyser", so named because its cone's shape reminds one of a beehive. To learn more about it follow this link - http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/1407/ugb_major.htm#beehive

Beware dangerous cavern up ahead!!

Experienced spelunkers needed for exploration. Proceed at your own risk!

Check out this cool representation of a hot spring!!! Thermophiles are just aching to cool their heels in this luxury spring. Here is a link by a hot springs enthusiast - http://www.hotspringsenthusiast.com/ -  from this site you can find the locations of hot springs in the US.
