]]> 2017-02-21 13:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ss65/f6ydbilgiwnd/wish/155137368 5. A brief description of your content ss65 https://padlet.com/ss65/f6ydbilgiwnd/wish/155137369 Tectonic plates are
huge pieces of the earth's surface. There are eight major plates along with many other minor plates. The movement of these plates forms many of the earth's features, like mountains, trenches, ocean floor structures, and volcanoes. There are 3 types of boundaries between tectonic plates, where different types of movement occur.

A brief description of the ways in which students will interact with the technology ss65 https://padlet.com/ss65/f6ydbilgiwnd/wish/155137370 Students will view a Piktochart presentation. They will be able to watch a video as an introduction to plate tectonics, and they will view images of examples of the types of tectonic boundaries and earth formations.
To assess if the students know some basic tectonic plate knowledge the class will participate in a plate tectonic game show.

Standard ss65 https://padlet.com/ss65/f6ydbilgiwnd/wish/155137373 4. Earth's Systems: Processes that Shape the Earth
4-ESS2-2. Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.  [Clarification Statement: Maps can include topographic maps of Earth’s land and ocean floor, as well as maps of the locations of mountains, continental boundaries, volcanoes, and earthquakes.]

ESS2.B: Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions
  • The locations of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, ocean floor structures, earthquakes, and volcanoes occur in patterns. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands that are often along the boundaries between continents and oceans. Major mountain chains form inside continents or near their edges. Maps can help locate the different land and water features areas of Earth. (4-ESS2-2)

Lesson Objective ss65 https://padlet.com/ss65/f6ydbilgiwnd/wish/155137374 After viewing a Piktochart presentation on plate tectonics, the students will demonstrate an understanding of plate tectonics by analyzing a map on the main tectonics and labeling the patterns of earth’s features where they most likely would occur.]]> 2017-02-21 13:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ss65/f6ydbilgiwnd/wish/155137374 Names ss65 https://padlet.com/ss65/f6ydbilgiwnd/wish/155137375 Emmeline Vacanti
