Science: Focus on Earth Science
Plate Tectonics and Earth’ s Structure

(6) 1. Plate tectonics explains important features of the Earth’s surface and major geologic events. As the basis for understanding this concept, students know:

a) The fit of the continents, location of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mid ocean ridges, and the distribution of fossils, rock types, and ancient climatic zones provide evidence for plate tectonics.
b) The solid Earth is layered with cold, brittle lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core.
c) Lithospheric plates that are the size of continents and oceans move at rates of centimeters per year in response to movements in the mantle.
d) Major geologic events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building result from plate motions.

     1.    Students will write a sentence Using capital letters at the beginning 
             sentence an in proper names.

       2.  Student will use a period, question mark or an exclimation
            mark at the end of each sentence.

1. After viewing an animation of continental movement on a laser disk, students will be able to arrange the fit of the continents with continental puzzle pieces.
2. After analyzing information from an Encarta CD, students will be able to compare the distribution of fossils, rock types and ancient climatic zones on different continents as evidence for plate tectonics by fitting puzzle pieces marked by these special features.
3. Students will be able to draw a diagram of the earth’s layers.
4. After collecting information from The Earth CD, students will be able to locate earthquakes, volcanoes and mid ocean ridges as evidence for plate tectonics.
5. After viewing a laser disc geology chapter, students will be able to pass a true/false quiz on lithospheric plates and layers of the earth.
6. Students will be able to identify the major geologic events that result from plate motions in a Power Point multimedia presentation.
7. Students will be able to present their findings on the sixth grade plate tectonics and Earth’s structure standards in a Power Point multimedia presentation to an audience of peers and adults, including the World Geologic Society.
8. Students will be able to write, edit and revise their findings on the sixth grade plate tectonics and Earth’s structure standards using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
