Additional Activities to Choose to Get Above a C!
All Students are expected to choose a minimum of 20 points of work. Use the grading scale as
a guide to set your goal. All work is expected to be in a final form and of very high quality.
Make sure the essential questions are answered!
 Research a scientist who contributed to the plat tectonic theory or is involved in volcanoes or
earthquakes. Write a story about them on the day they announced their discovery or on
their job. Include background information. Site Resources. (20 points)_______
 Create a crossword puzzle using terms and concepts from the chapter with 10 up and 10
down . Complete the key yourself (10 pts)_____
 Create a plate tectonic game. 20 questions, game board, directions. (20 pts)____
 Create a timeline of the development of seismology use pictures and creativity. Site
resources (20 pts)_____
 Research and display(your choice of how) your understanding of an instrument used to
study the shifting of the plates. Site your resources (20 pts)____
 Complete supplemental worksheets(Enrichment ,Reinforcement or Critical Thinking
Sheets) (5 pts/ each)______ ______ _______ ______ _____
 Internet Scavenger Hunt (10 pts)_______
 Demonstrate your understanding to me of plate movement with experiments and
demonstrations (10 pts) ____
 Show movie clips and explain why the statements that the movie makes are either true or
false (clips must be PG rated –don’t show whole movie just section showing the concept you
will be discussing-usually the part you need to show doesn’t have the things we don’t
approve of viewing in school ) (20-30 pts)________
 Write a paper that would discuss what the earth would be like if we didn’t have plate
tectonics (3 paragraphs) (10 pts)______

 Create a children’s book creativity pictures and story line. EXPLAINING Pangaea OR
Plate tectonic theory (20 pts)______
 Draw cartoons that use humor to explain the theories of Pangaea or Plate Tectonics. 6
frames colored, neat and narrated or labeled. (10 pts)_____

The following benchmark indicators are covered in this unit!!
Explain that some processes involved in the rock cycle are directly related to thermal energy and forces in
the mantle that drive plate motions
Describe how landforms are created through a combination of destructive (e.g., weathering and erosion)
and constructive processes (e.g., crustal deformation, volcanic eruptions and deposition of sediment).
Describe the interior structure of Earth and Earth’s crust as divided into tectonic plates riding on top of the
slow moving currents of magma in the mantle
Use models to analyze the size and shape of Earth, its surface and its interior
Explain that folding, faulting and uplifting can rearrange the rock layers so the youngest is not always
found on top.
Illustrate how the three primary types of plate boundaries (transform, divergent and convergent) cause
different landforms (e.g., mountains, volcanoes, ocean trenches)
Read, construct and interpret data in various forms produced by self and others in both written and oral
form (e.g., tables, charts, maps, graphs, diagrams, symbols).
Identify the difference between description (e.g., observation and summary) and explanation (e.g.,
inference, prediction, significance, importance)
