1 What Do We Know About Plate Tectonics? LESSON 9.3 AND LESSON 10.1

2 What are the most important or main ideas that you have learned about this unit?

3 Types of Plate Movement  What are the different types of plate movements that can happen?  Continental convergence  Oceanic convergence  Oceanic-continental subduction  Divergence  Hotspots  Transformations

4 Physical Model  Each group is going to be given one of these different types of plate movement to create a physical model of  Brainstorm with your group how you will create the model  You can use any materials in the classroom  We are building the model on Thursday so you can also bring in anything you have at home to help make it  Your group will fill out a planning worksheet to help get started thinking about what you need to include in your model

5 Model Checklist  While you are planning your model, keep in mind that it should help your classmates learn about your assigned plate boundary  Also, be sure to include the effects that your plate boundary included in your model. For example, if you plate boundary creates a landform with its movement, that landform should be a part of your model  Be sure to plan out the materials you will need to build the model  We will build models on Thursday, as well as writing a description about your group’s model

6 What is Happening at these Sites?

7 Plate Movement Map

8 Case Study Sites  You and your shoulder partner will get 5 case study sites to explore  Each of you will look at them  You will analyze each case study site and fill out the chart using what you have already learned about plate movement
