A Geography PowerPoint lesson and 2 worksheets on the topic of Plate Tectonics. The PowerPoint teaches pupils about tectonic plates and the three main types of boundaries - convergent, divergent, transform. Suitable for KS2/KS3. 16 slides in total - including the cover page and the credits page. 2 pages of worksheets. Please consider leaving a review if you enjoy the resource. Thank you for your interest, Hoppy Times :)

This lesson is designed for KS2 students. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of three wider units, all of which are available on TES: -Volcanoes -Earthquakes -Volcanoes & Earthquakes The presentation introduces the idea that the world’s crust is split into tectonic plates and looks at how these are related to volcanoes and earthquakes. The activity challenges students to identify tectonic plates using a map. It is differentiated two ways: Easier – Students identify the world’s tectonic plates using a colour-coordinated map. Harder – Students identify the world’s tectonic plates using a plain map. Extension – Students use an atlas to find out which tectonic plate countries of the world are located on.

Powerpoint presentation looks at the theory of plate tectonics and how it developed from Alfred Wegener’s earlier theory of continental drift. The presentation includes links to important videos to support learning. A supporting worksheet is also included to assess student understanding of work covered in lesson.

A worksheet that teaches about the structure of the earth and plate margins.

For GCSE/IGCSE Geography covers everything on this topic. I hope it will help!

This word search on tectonic plates also doubles as a coloring book!. The solution to the puzzle is included. Vocabulary Terms Included: ♦ Convection ♦ Convergent ♦ Divergent ♦ Earth Layers ♦ Earthquake ♦ Fault ♦ Hot Spot ♦ Ocean Ridge ♦ Pangaea ♦ Seismologist ♦ Tectonic Plates ♦ Transform

KS3 lesson Identify that the earths surface is made up of different plate margins. Describe how different plate margins have different types of hazards. Explain the causes of hazards on plate margins. Lesson is fully differentiated, all resources required provided and AFL throughout

Students cut and paste the puzzle pieces to create a map showing the major plate tectonics of Earth. A great activity for low ability students, or an early finisher activity to extend the understanding of visual learners. Plates will glue into a small rectangle but will not fit together perfectly. This reflects real world conditions of plate tectonics.

Content: An overview of the characteristics of the layers of the Earth (Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust). The major tectonic plates. The distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes. Convection currents. The theory of continental drift. Resources are: FACE TO FACE READY- Word Document/PDF/PowerPoint- printable resources for delivery in the classroom. REMOTE READY- Suitable for online digital learning with links to Google Docs and Google Slides that can be directly posted onto Google Classroom.

Plate Tectonics This is the Plate Tectonics Differentiation Stations. This product consists of six different stations for students to learn about plate tectonics. The student will learn about the crust, upper mantle, lithosphere, asthenosphere, convection currents, subduction, convergent boundaries, transform boundaries, Pangaea, Alfred Wegener, Mountain building, and much more! How It Works Station 1- Vocabulary matching game allows students to match key vocabulary terms with definitions. Station 2- This station allows students to read an article focusing on plate tectonics and to answer multiple-choice questions. Station 3- Students are given the opportunity to sketch major concepts within plate tectonics. Station 4- The student reads a passage and then writes constructed responses. Station 5- Students read provided fact cards and writes down the correct vocabulary term. Station 6 – Students cut out the seven continents and construct a model of Pangaea.
