Fossil Evidence Continent Puzzle
LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now.
10-15min Plate Tectonics Quiz.
15-20min Fossil Evidence Continent Puzzle. Students cut out pieces. Students use the fossil evidence to arrange the puzzle pieces. Glue, colour, and title.
10min [Finish from yesterday.] Continental Drift Island Match Slideshow. Students use the evidence they collected to figure out how the islands fitted together in the past. (The edges don’t have to fit perfectly. Mountains must line up.)
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.

Continental Drift Island Match Handout
LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by answering the question.
5min Teacher outlines how to play the Continental Drift game and fill out the Continental Drift Island Match handout by recording information about the evidence found at each site, marking the locations of mountains, finding the age and composition of the mountains, and recording the layers of core samples, and locations of glacial till.
15-20min Students play the game and complete the worksheet.
10min Continental Drift Island Match Slideshow. Students use the evidence they collected to figure out how the islands fitted together in the past. (The edges don’t have to fit perfectly. Mountains must line up.)

LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by describing the particles of a solid and a gas.
5min Teacher organizes students into pairs for access to technology.
10-15min Plate Tectonics StopMotion Animation. Working in pairs or groups of three, students complete animate two tectonic plates (made from Play-Doh) above the mantle (orange construction paper) and two convection currents (paper circles with arrows) underneath in the mantle.
Animation Sequence:
Title (5pics) - ‘Plate Tectonics’ with all names underneath.
Convergent w/o Subduction (20pics) - Show large mountain formation. Don’t tilt the plates have them smoosh together to make mountains.
Convergent with Subduction (20pics) - Show small mountain and trench formation. The plate on top will form a mountain as the other goes under.
Divergent (10pics) - Don’t forget to change the direction of the convection.
Turn in via schoology.
5min Review videos.
5min Clean up. Wrap up.
