Description

Plate tectonic activities are engaging for students! This HUGE integrated unit combines close reading of nonfiction passages on plate tectonics and changes to Earth's surface with a hands-on lab. This unit also includes plate tectonics worksheets. Landscapes on Earth have changed over time! We know this because of the study of plate tectonics. This resource is full of interesting activities! Perfect for Upper Elementary Students.

This unit includes:

  • a hands-on lab
  • follow-up pages
  • QR code Research
  • informational text passages
  • a slide show
  • map work
  • interactive notebook flaps
  • worksheets
  • an assessment
  • This resource begins and ends with the use of phenomena, and has students using science and engineering practices to think critically.

Teachers Love This Resource!❤️❤️❤️

Heather ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied

This was perfect for the standard I was teaching. The hands-on activities and interactive notebook elements were excellent.

The resource is standards-based and focuses on the NGSS standards for 4th grade:

NGSS 4-ESS2-2. Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.

Science Concepts Include:

Plate Tectonics

Divergent Boundaries

Convergent Boundaries

Transform Boundaries

Seafloor Spreading

Subduction

Layers of the Earth

Patterns in Earth’s Features

Making Arguments From Evidence

Making Models to Explain Understanding

This resource is also aligned with CCSS for Reading Informational Text for 4th Grade. This resource includes a six-page reading passage with comprehension questions and response pages.

Students will enjoy the hands-on lab, they will think deeply about the Patterns of Earth Features. There are plenty of varied activities about plate tectonics for the teacher to pull from.
