Plate Tectonics: StopMotion Animation (Day 1 of 2)

QUICK VIEW

• CW/HW: Make StopMotion Animation parts for (1) divergent, (2) convergent, (3) subduction, and (4) transform boundaries.

• DN: Stand at the back with all your items.

• Reminders: Bring your own technology with StopMotion Studio app.

LESSON OUTLINE

5min Students complete the Do Now by following directions.

5min New table groups are assigned.

10min Plate Tectonics StopMotion Animation explained in detail. (1) Showing divergent plates and convection currents in the magma/mantle. (2) Showing a mountain forming where convergent plates meet with corresponding currents in the magma/mantle. (3) Showing an active volcano at convergent boundary with subduction and convection corresponding currents in the magma/mantle. (4) An aerial view of a transform plate boundary.

20min Students divide up work and focus on creating the parts for their stopmotion animations.

5min Clean up. Wrap up.
