3 Plate Puzzle Develop a better understanding of the Earth’s plates and their distribution. Explore plate motions and the interactions of the plates along the plate boundaries. Cut map along plate boundaries. Each student selects a plate. The students work together to put the “plate puzzle” together. Students discuss relative plate motion for neighboring plates and agree on type of plate boundary. Makes a good authentic assessment.
