Looking for a complete unit to teach Pangaea and the Theory of Plate Tectonics?
This comprehensive resource goes far beyond the classic Pangaea Puzzle! While students will enjoy the engaging hands-on activity of reassembling the supercontinent, the unit also includes:
· Informational readings on continental drift and plate tectonics
· Guided questions to reinforce comprehension
· A lab activity for hands-on exploration
· A graphic organizer to support visual learners
We all know that students learn in different ways. This unit is designed with differentiation in mind, offering multiple entry points to engage every learner. Using geologic and fossil evidence, your students will retrace the steps of Alfred Wegener, the scientist who first proposed the theory of continental drift. As they reconstruct Pangaea, they’ll develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of Earth’s dynamic history.
