Summary:

       The Cascade Range is also called the Cascade Mountains, or the Cascade Volcanoes. It starts at North California, stretches up North, and ends at British Columbia. It has a total of 18 Mountains. The Cascade Range was formed by subduction of the Pacific Plate (under the) and the North American Plate. It's highest peak (Mount Rainier) is at 14,409 feet above sea level. 

SP2: Develop and Using Models:

    I constructed a physical model to represent a few of the many mountains of the Cascade Range with my team. I made Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, and Glacier Peak, and added a compass rose. I first molded my mountains with aluminum foil, then I painted it, stuck it onto cardboard, labeled the mountains, and added finishing touches. I can see that I have improved on this practice based on the quality of my model, and how I improved on other things like the labels.
