Students will be able to:
use information from virtual activities and classroom discussions to
-investigate and explain Alfred Wegener's hypothesis.
-show Pangaea's movement over geological time.
The do now was an FCAT transparency.
Those students that needed to complete the plate tectonics/notes activity did so by clicking the link found at Dr. Gayden's Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com) located under Monday, 6 December, 2010 For Seventh Graders. You can also cut and past the following URL address to access the site: http://www.as.uky.edu/academics/departments_programs/EarthEnvironmentalSciences/EarthEnvironmentalSciences/Educational%20Materials/Documents/elearning/module04swf.swf
Be sure to record the names of ALL the plates AND write at least one sentence to explain EACH boundary/plate activity. For instance: When oceanic and continental plates converge or meet, the more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate, forming an accretionary wedge.
Do this for EACH of the plate types.
There was no home learning, but there will be a mini assessment tomorrow (postponed from today).
