The lab directly following, entitled, “Piecing Together the Plates” can be used as a stand alone activity, but would make more sense to the students if it followed a unit/lesson plans on plate tectonics, specifically the different boundary types. For 3 possible lesson plans to incorporate into this unit, please see the following pages after the “Piecing Together the Plates” lesson plan. (The Earth’s Plates, Snack Tectonics, Egg Plates). Laboratory Title: Piecing Together the Plates Your Name: Lisa McCready Concepts Addressed: Tectonic Plates; Continental and Oceanic Plates, Plate Boundaries Lab Goals: Students will build a knowledge base surrounding the actual plate names and the boundaries located at the edges of the plates Lab Objectives: Students will… Identify the world continents and oceans Provide an example of a world map with their estimation of the location of the 15 major plates Compare their estimation to the actual plate locations Predict certain boundary types based on plate tectonic clues Discuss/share with class/classmates what transpires at the different boundaries Work cooperatively with partners SCIENCE Benchmark(s) Addressed (3rd to 4th Grade): 3.1 Structure and Function: Living and non-living things vary in their characteristics and properties. 3.1P.1 Compare and contrast the properties of states of matter. 3.2 Interaction and Change: Living and non-living things interact with energy and forces. 3.2P.1 Describe how forces cause changes in an object’s position, motion, and speed. 3.4 Engineering Design: Engineering design is a process that uses science to solve problems or address needs or aspirations. 3.4D.3 Give examples of inventions that enable scientists to observe things that are too small or too far away. 4.1 Structure and Function: Living and non-living things can be classified by their characteristics and properties. 4.1E.1 Identify properties, uses, and availability of Earth materials. 4.2 Interaction and Change: Livi
