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 . . .
In this post I'm sharing some of my favorite resources for teaching a unit on Plate Tectonics and the Layers of the Earth! Check out the best interactives, online resources, demonstrations, and lessons that cover Pangaea, Alfred Wegener, the Earth's interior, convection in Earth's mantle, plate boundaries, and plate motion!
This edible plate tectonics science activity is perfect for earth science. Get all the details including a free reading passage on this post.
Earthquakes and Volcanoes Worksheets are essential tools for learners eager to gain a deeper understanding of these fascinating natural phenomena. Designed for students in middle school and high school, these worksheets cover a wide range of topics related to earthquakes and volcanoes, including plate tectonics, seismic waves, volcano formation, and more. With engaging activities and thought-provoking questions, these educational resources will surely captivate students and enhance their knowledge about the Earth's powerful forces.

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

This Plate Tectonics Unit will get your kids involved in the learning, and asking great questions about how the world works.
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
