Using the ready-to-use materials provided, students first assemble a model to represent Tectonic Plates that can be used to make predications and communicate their findings to others. Your students will make model tectonic plates using the colorful parts provided, then using them to look at their structure and how the plates interact at their margins. In the process, they’ll gain an understanding for how these interactions form mountains, deep ocean trenches, islands, volcanoes and cause earthquakes! The model can also be used to look at other interactions, including oceanic meeting oceanic plate, oceanic meeting continental plate, continental meeting continental plate, conservative plate margins and mid-ocean ridges. Includes enough materials for an individual student to work alone or 2 students to work cooperatively to assemble a paper model. Also includes a comprehensive background information providing opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concept. Satisfies NGSS Standards which encourage students to develop & use models to represent structures, systems & processes. Perfect for use at home, in the classroom or lab.
