Reuniting Pangaea- Continental Drift Lesson
In this 2 part-lesson, students will collect data on fossil evidence and create their own landmass map with various colors to represent the locations of fossil discoveries. Then, they will cut out the landmasses and reassemble them logically to create a giant supercontinent (Pangaea). Students will share their decision and reasoning on the evidence with their group or partner, along with answering 4 conclusion questions.
The teacher will post the correct landmass model key and students will glue their Pangaea into their science notebook.
On Day 2, the teacher will read a passage on Alfred Wegener. Students will receive 10 sentence strips from the teacher and will use context clues to sequence the strips to create a timeline representing the historical development of the plate tectonic theory. At this point, the class can have a gallery walk and discuss the event sequence (optional).
The lesson will conclude with students answering conclusion questions over the 2-day lesson and writing a summary in their science notebook describing the historical evidence that supports the plate tectonic theory.

EDITABLE Science Lab Coat Activity
GREAT FOR BACK TO SCHOOL!
This activity is great for the first day of school in science classrooms. It gives the teacher a chance to get to know the students, the students a chance to get to know each other, and some decor for your classroom! But because it's EDITABLE, you can really use it anytime of year!
Students are given a science lab coat with some basic questions/info inside (you provide the topics or questions or use the examples I provided). Students decorate the outside of their lab coat based on some provided directions. Then they cut and fold to create the lab coat seen in the "Preview" above.
Simply hang some string in your classroom (or hallway) and have students attach their completed Science Lab Coat using a tiny clothespin.
Included in this product:
Printouts for the lab coat (2 lab coat options)
Teacher directions
Ideas for extension
A PowerPoint with student directions (text boxes are editable so that you can customize it for your needs)
Students will need:
Colored pencils
scissors
