LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by coloring and gluing notebook.
15min Complete the diagram by identifying the 3 tectonic plates, convergent boundary, divergent boundary, thermal vent, trench, ocean, mantle, mountains & volcanoes, and the convection currents.
10min Video examples of volcanoes, trenches, thermal vents, and earthquakes.
5min Emergency BIG Earthquake Plan: Meeting Locations (Main locations and alternative); Numbers of Contacts (In case phone is lost, damaged, or out of power.), Siblings/Family (Who checks/picks up who?), Food/Water (How much do you have? Is it enough for two weeks? How will you heat it?); Safest Location (What’s the safest spot in each room of your home?) Medical/Etc. (What will you do if a person has medical needs like insulin?)
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
