We are in Unit 4-7 of Layers of Learning and today’s science lesson was on plate tectonics. We do science once a week, usually on Tuesday or Wednesday . . .

I absolutely LOVE teaching plate tectonics. What kid doesn’t love learning about earthquakes and volcanoes?! I’ve compiled a list of activities you can choose from to make this one of your students’ favorite units (and probably your favorite too).1. Why do Earth’s plates move in the first place? Use this demo to show students how ... Read more

Students will be constructing a foldable on plate boundaries. The boundaries included are divergent (continental and ocean), convergent (continental, ocean, and ocean/continental), and transform. This is a great way for students to study plate boundaries.  Students can also glue the foldable into their interactive note

In this video, we explore plate tectonics, including a look at convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries and what happens at each one.Additional ...

Here are 8 plate tectonics activities for your classroom. Reassemble a supercontinent, model boundary types, and more.

Here are some of my favorite interactives, online resources, demonstrations, and lessons for teaching a unit on Plate Tectonics and the Layers of the Earth!

The theory of plate tectonics provides geology with a comprehensive theory that explains how the Earth works. Though Alfred Wegener was the first to suggest the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics in 1915, it wasn't widely accepted until the 1960s and 1970s as new information was obtained about the nature of the ocean

Complete lesson plans for a middle school science classroom plate tectonics unit Including NGSS aligned phenomena and hands on activities.

Included is a puzzle activity on plate tectonics. Students will be coloring, cutting, and gluing puzzle pieces according to their plate boundaries. The boundaries include divergent (continental and oceanic lithosphere), convergent (continental, oceanic, and continental/oceanic lithosphere), and transform. The puzzle pi
