Instructional Ideas
- Copy the page, cut the questions out as strips, place them in a container, allow learners to pull a question out, direct them to answer their question, and when everyone is finished, discuss answers with the class
- Use these questions to guide a written research report
- Invite scholars to create a physical model of the three types of plate tectonics
Classroom Considerations
- Copies are required
- A science textbook, reference book, or digital tools are needed to search for and identify answers to each question
Pros
- Questions are detailed and give an in-depth look into your learners' knowledge of plate tectonics
Cons
- Some questions reference specific information from a textbook; however, with some extra research, the answers can be found
- Questions only requiring short answer responses do not provide variety in response choice which could decrease student engagement
