This week we will dive into the earth to answer the questions "why do the tectonic plates move?" Monday will be spent discussing the data that scientists use to develop the model of continental drift which will lead us into a lab to investigate this motion. Tuesday and Wednesday we will work on completing the lab that will teach us about a possible cause of tectonic plate movement. Thursday we will finish up our discussion of this topic and take notes. Friday we will start talking about some real-life applications of plate motion - earthquakes!
Don't forget to check out the Earth Science page for lots of helpful websites!
