This was such a fun and great activity to do with my students. They learned so much from this activity and it was pretty low prep on my end. It is also helped them to work together. I really recommend this activity.

I love this resource! My students really liked using this resource in class and they put it into their interactive notebook as well.

My students really enjoyed creating this map. It was fairly easy for them to complete. I liked that it reinforced the concepts we were covering. They were engaged and we had discussions on the lesson during the assignment.

I used this project as an assessment for learning. Students had to construct this project and ask questions regarding specific features.

I use this with my regular and ELL students to review Vocabulary. They like taking notes this way it makes it more interesting! They had so much fun making this! It really helped them see the layers of the Earth!

My students really enjoyed completing this activity. It really got them thinking and working together to puzzle the tectonic plates together and picture what is occurring right under their feet! Highly recommend!!

We did this on a Friday afternoon when we were reviewing for the test. It was a fun way to end the week. Some students really enjoyed it.

We used this as a review for the unit exam. Students who completed it were allowed to use it on the exam as well. You have to know content before you can understand it. I would like to see analysis questions added over this model to show students’ understandings.

My students really enjoyed creating this map. It was fairly easy for them to complete. I liked that it reinforced the seafloor spreading concept we were covering.

This was a great, hands on activity in my marine science class to model how plate tectonics have created our oceans prior to completing the edible plate tectonics lab. My students loved getting to take a break from “normal” notes to color, cut, and glue the pieces down to make a modeled notes sheet instead. Highly recommend!

Thank you for this resource! Attending college classes online does not always give the hands on opportunity for learning. So I have used this resource to help me review for the state test!

I loved this resource because plate tectonics is hard to grasp and this gave a more hands-on approach with some coloring to help them understand. And we know coloring helps middle-schoolers learn.
