Description
SAVE $$$ with this bundle of 3 plate tectonics webquests! GOOGLE DOCS and PRINT VERSIONS INCLUDED!
These plate tectonics worksheets provide a structured format for students to get the most out of 3 different interactive and reputable Earth Science websites.
3 PLATE TECTONICS WEBQUESTS:
- 1. Plate Tectonics "Plates on the Move" - This plate tectonics webquest sends your students on an interactive journey through the Plates on the Move website. Build and reinforce knowledge of plate boundaries and the geological processes that result.
- 2. Active Volcanoes of the United States - Use the interactive and up-to-date map of the Volcano Hazards Program to research the location, volcano type, and most recent activity of volcanoes within U.S. territories.
- 3. Ring of Fire Volcanoes - Students collect real data about volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. They'll use the interactive and up-to-date map of the Global Volcanism Program to research the location, volcano type, and most recent activity of their choice of volcanoes within the Ring of Fire.
Teacher Notes:
- These resources are not editable.
- Links to the Google Docs versions are provided in the downloadable PDFs.
- Includes all answer keys.

CCSSRST.6-8.4
Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6–8 texts and topics.
CCSSRST.6-8.7
Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).
NGSSHS-ESS2-1
Develop a model to illustrate how Earth’s internal and surface processes operate at different spatial and temporal scales to form continental and ocean-floor features. Emphasis is on how the appearance of land features (such as mountains, valleys, and plateaus) and sea-floor features (such as trenches, ridges, and seamounts) are a result of both constructive forces (such as volcanism, tectonic uplift, and orogeny) and destructive mechanisms (such as weathering, mass wasting, and coastal erosion). Assessment does not include memorization of the details of the formation of specific geographic features of Earth’s surface.
NGSSMS-ESS2-2
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales. Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at time and spatial scales that can be large (such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events. Examples of geoscience processes include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features, where appropriate.
