Types of Plate Boundaries

We will be grouping up to share your google slides on your specific plate boundary. After your group discussions you will be participating in a Quizizz and completing a study guide for your upcoming quiz, Titan day on Wednesday and Olympia day on Thursday. The quiz will be similar to the quiz we took on plate tectonics, it will be a short answer quiz with the possibility to go above and beyond with your explanations.

Continue Plate Boundary Investigation

We will continue to work on your plate boundary investigation, remember to complete the google slides. If you finish your boundary investigation, you will move on to the extension activity. You will pick one specific volcano, earthquake or tsunami to investigate. We will also spend the first few minutes of class looking over your last quiz and I will provide an explanation for your grade.

Plate Boundaries

We will go over your plate boundary graphic organizer to start class. After we have a basic understanding of the three main types of plate boundaries you are going to pick one of the boundaries to investigate. In Google Classroom you will find the assignment for the day, Plate Boundary Investigation.

Types of Plates

So far we have learned about the history of the Earth, rocks & fossils. We are going to now focus on the different types of plate boundaries and what that means for the types of land masses we will see in those areas and possible effects of those plates moving.

Bell Ringer - How many types of plate boundaries are there? How do the plates move? (Be prepared to share out)

Pangaea Activity

We will finish up the layers of the Earth with a short discussion and then move on to our Pangaea Activity. If you have scissors, glue and crayons/colored pencils please go get them now. You will be recreating what we think the Earth looked like 300 million years ago and providing evidence to prove this.

Earth's Layers/Plate Tectonics

Glad to see all of you again! We will be picking up where we left off, focusing on the layers of the Earth and plate tectonics. You will be figuring out how the layers where created, why they are composed of the materials they are and other unique features each layer has.

Bell Ringer - Be prepared to share something you did over break.
