Learning Objective
The students will then look at the fossil evidence and try to match up the ancient landmass pieces to see if they can form the supercontinent, Pangea.
Description
Pangea and continental drift are so fun to learn about! Earth's surface has changed over time. Students will use fossil evidence to examine changes to Earth's surface. Students will learn about the theory of Pangea and Continental Drift. Students will enjoy this hands-on, research-based project to get students thinking about fossil records and how they help to show geologic changes over time.
This unit includes:
- slide show
- QR code research
- printable puzzle activity
- response pages
- lesson plans
- interactive notebook flaps
Teachers Love this Resource!
Jennifer ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied
Aligns well with the standards. Great labs and follow-up pages. Great slide show. Altogether a really great unit that is easy to implement. My students loved the puzzle activity.
Connie ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied
I bought this as a nice little supplement for my usual stuff, but this is really well-planned and carefully aligned to address the standards. Love this.
See the preview for more details!
They will collect evidence from the presentation and their research using QR codes or URLs. The students will then look at the fossil evidence and try to match up the ancient landmass pieces to see if they can form the supercontinent Pangea. This activity with fossil evidence is engaging! All you have to do is print it out and follow the directions.
This resource is designed to meet the NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas: History of The Planet Earth, Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions, and Earth's Materials and Systems.
This resource is designed to meet the standard for NGSS Earths Systems:
MS-ESS2-2. Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales.
MS-ESS2-3.
Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions
Utah SEEd
Standard 7.2.5
Ask questions and analyze and interpret data about the patterns between plate tectonics and:
(1) The occurrence of earthquakes and volcanoes.
(2) Continental and ocean floor features.
(3) The distribution of rocks and fossils.
Utah SEEd
Standard 7.2.2 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales. Examples of processes at varying time scales could include slow plate motions or rapid landslides. Examples of processes at varying spatial scales could consist of the uplift of a mountain range or the deposition of fine sediments.
Science Concepts Include:
Plate Tectonics
Fossil Evidence
Seafloor Spreading
Geoscience Processes
Changes to Earth's Surfaces
Past Plate Motions
