Plate Tectonics Review Handout
LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now.
5min Assign students (groups of four or more) a plate boundary.
10min Cheer Practice. Students create and perform cheers that demonstrate how the plates move in convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries because of convection. And demonstrate at least one feature of that plate boundary.
10min Cheer Presentations. Students perform their convergent, divergent, or transform boundary cheers.
10min Students continue completing the handout.
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.

5min Students complete the Do Now.
10min Crackers & Eating Time MiniLab. Teacher outlines the procedure for the MiniLab and takes volunteers. Students collect cracker consumption time data. (Time required to consume 1, 2, 3, or 4 crackers.)
5min Students determine the independent variable, dependent variable, constants, hypothesis, and title.
5min Students plot their data; add an appropriate trendline; complete an analysis; and make a prediction for 3.5 crackers.
15min Layers of the Food. Draw an Avocado, Peach, Cherry, Hard Boiled Egg, or Kiwi. Label the Crust, Mantle, and Core.
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.

LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by clearing and cleaning tables.
5min Teacher distributes materials.
20min Plate Tectonics - Cracker & Ketchup Models. Teacher demonstrates how to make a digital character and overviews the assignment. Students recreate the ‘transform’ example, add arrows, labels, and a brief description (already done). Students then model the other boundaries with crackers and ketchup making sure their digital character is in each photo. (Tip: Take all the photos first and then add the arrows, labels, and brief description.)
10min Clear tables. Wipe tables. Dry tables.
5min Wrap up.
