Plate Tectonics - Mr. Jimenez 6th Grade...
5
Name: _______________________________________ Period: _________________ Date: _______________ Plate Tectonics Over the past few weeks in Earth Science, we have been studying about Continental drift, Seafloor Spreading and Plate tectonics. You will now use all that you have learned and you will create a model. You will now choose one idea from the list below, to make a model, and write about how it was created in nature. Use your notes on Chapters 4 and 5 for information when creating your model. The assignment will be broken into several steps for you. Be sure to complete each step as it is assigned. Step 1: Choose one from the list below in order to create your model. 1) Continental drift (Pangaea) 4) Convergent Plate Boundaries: A) Ocean to Ocean Convergent Plate Boundary 2) Divergent Plate Boundary B) Ocean to Continental Convergent Plate Boundary A) Rift Valley C) Continental to Continental Convergent Plate Boundary B) Seafloor Spreading 5) Examples 3) Faults A) Cascade Mountain Range A) Reverse Fault B) Marianas Islands B) Normal Fault C) Strike Slip Fault You do not need to buy expensive materials. (be creative) Select your topic: ___________________________________ This part is due December 2 Teacher initials approving selected objects. __________________________ Step 2: On a separate sheet of paper (we’ll call it the Project Work Paper), make a drawing of the model that you will be basing your project on. This drawing should be carefully drawn, labeled and neatly colored, and include lots of details. (This part of the project should be ready by Dec 4
