A few quick questions on what happens where plates move apart, collide and slide past each other, and the evidence that plates move. Taught in class; use this to check yourself.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains and trenches all happen at the edges of plates. What happens at each kind of edge?
Your teacher covers the three kinds of plate boundary and the evidence for plate tectonics in class. These questions check the basics.
Make your prediction first. Help opens once you've locked it in.
Which kind of boundary is it?
Is it evidence that the plates have moved?
Match each piece of evidence to what it shows.
A self-test on divergent, convergent and transform boundaries and the evidence for plate tectonics (AC9S8U03, nodes 3 to 6, taught in class; node 6 a hinge). About 18 minutes.
Open the teacher guide: answers, solutions, slides and a worksheet.
A Quick check: a few questions on what students should know for AC9S8U03 nodes 3 to 6, which you teach in class. It has no board, no clip and no new teaching, and it is optional, so it never holds up course completion. Set the width with ?width=minimum, typical (default) or wider.
Use it as a self-test after your teaching, a starter, or revision. The Layers and What moves the plates lessons on screen come first (nodes 1 and 2); these are the boundaries and evidence you teach in class. Students can do one node at a time.
Keeping the three boundaries apart. When a student mixes them up, ask which way the plates are moving relative to each other.
Stretch: Choose a place (Japan, Iceland, the Andes, the Himalayas). Name its boundary type and two features that show it.
Support: Give a diagram of the three boundaries with arrows showing plate movement to label.
Back in class: model the boundaries with trays or modelling clay; plot recent earthquakes and volcanoes on a world map.
