EQ-What is the theory of plate tectonics? What are the
forces that drive sea-floor spreading and subduction?
EQ- What are tectonic plates? What causes plate
movement? What are the three types of plate boundaries?
OBJ- I can demonstrate understanding of sea-floor
spreading and subduction by completing a visual of
both with 80% or higher accuracy.
OBJ- I can demonstrate understanding of plate boundaries
by completing a graphic organizer of the boundaries with
80% or higher accuracy.
Instructional Strategies:
Methods/Activities –
 Students will read about plate tectonics, paste
notes into their notebook, and highlight the
key points.

After discussion of plate tectonics, students
will draw and label visuals of subduction and
sea-floor spreading.
Instructional Strategies:
Methods/Activities –
 Discuss the following: tectoinic plates, plate
boundaries, movement of plates, and what causes
plate movement
 Student will create a graphic organizer that
describes each of the three plate boundaries.
(convergent, divergent, transform)

EQ- What occurs as a result of the forces in the earth’s
crust?
OBJ- I can demonstrate understanding of forces in
earth’s crust by completing graphic organizers of
faulting, folding, and stresses with 80% or higher
accuracy.

EQ- What are tectonic plates? What causes plate
movement? What are the three types of plate
boundaries?
OBJ- I can demonstrate understanding of plate
boundaries by completing a graphic organizer of
the boundaries and creating a puzzle of the Earth’s
plates with 80% or higher accuracy.
Instructional Strategies:
Methods/Activities –
 Discuss the following: tectonic plates,
plate boundaries, movement of plates, and
what causes plate movement
 Student will create a graphic organizer
that describes each of the three plate
boundaries. (convergent, divergent,
transform)
 Students will paste notes in their
notebook and will highlight key points.
 Students will also be given a plate
boundary puzzle to put together and paste
in their notebook. Students must label the
type of boundary at each plate.
