Lab-Aids: Plate Tectonics - Examining Evidence for Continental Drift Kit


Student groups use SEPUP/LAB-AIDS‚® specially designed and annoted puzzle pieces representing the earth's continents to investigate the idea of continental drift. In part I, an exploratory activity, students attempt to fit the puzzle pieces into one large continent using clues provided by the shape and the geologic evidence contained on each piece. In part II students read a selection of statements about continental drift and determining whether those statements are evidence or opinion and whether or not the evidence presented provides support for continental drift. Developed by SEPUP.
