Our next unit will be Earthquakes and Volcanoes.  We will start of the unit label the Earth’s plates, coloring the 3 types of plate boundaries.  We will then plot the earthquakes and volcanoes and observe the pattern of where they occur.  Our major lab this weeks involves a tasty morsel named Snickers. We will use it to model the different motion of earths plates: convergent, divergent, and transform.  We will then review our knowledge this week by completing our Plate Tectonics Adapted Reading and creating a Plate Tectonics vocabulary Foldable.
