Description
This one-month-long plate tectonics, Earth's interior, earthquakes, and tsunamis bundle covers everything your students need to know about our dynamic Earth for the New York State (NYS) Regents exam. It includes guided notes with practice questions, teacher presentations, a digital and interactive lab activity, 4 self-checking digital reviews, and a collaborative vocabulary review game.
What's included?
- Plate Tectonics Notes & Workbook:
- Student Workbook: 35 pages of notes with practice questions to share with your students.
- Teacher Presentation: 144 Google Slides™ that go along the workbook.
- Teacher Notes: 5 pages of pacing guide with learning objectives and standards.
- Earthquakes, Earth's Interior, and Tsunamis Notes & Workbook:
- Student Workbook: 38 pages of notes with practice questions to share with your students.
- Teacher Presentation: 153 Google Slides™ that go along the workbook.
- Teacher Notes: 6 pages of pacing guide with learning objectives and standards.
- Digital Lab Activity - Continental Drift
- In this Google Slides™ digital lab activity, the students will analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, and continental shapes to provide evidence of past plate motions and continental drift. This lab activity follows the 5E model with the Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate phases. It is an interactive lab activity with drag & drop activities, video clips, and Regents questions. The key is included.
- Digital Lab Activity - Convergent Plate Boundaries
- In this digital lab activity using Google Slides™, students will analyze patterns created by earthquakes and volcanoes along convergent plate boundaries using three-dimensional seismic simulations. The focus will be on the formation of the Andes Mountains with the Peru-Chile Trench, the Aleutian Trench, and the Himalayan Mountains. This lab activity is interactive, featuring links to two online simulations and drag-and-drop features.
- Digital Review Activities:
- These Google Sheets™ self-checking & self-grading reviews are perfect to help students deepen their understanding in a fun and interactive way.
- Collaborative Vocabulary Review Game:
- Take your science vocabulary test review days from dull to dazzling with this collaborative vocabulary review game! This highly engaging vocabulary game makes practicing important plate tectonics and crustal features content vocabulary words something that students are excited to do!

NGSSHS-ESS2-3
Develop a model based on evidence of Earth’s interior to describe the cycling of matter by thermal convection. Emphasis is on both a one-dimensional model of Earth, with radial layers determined by density, and a three-dimensional model, which is controlled by mantle convection and the resulting plate tectonics. Examples of evidence include maps of Earth’s three-dimensional structure obtained from seismic waves, records of the rate of change of Earth’s magnetic field (as constraints on convection in the outer core), and identification of the composition of Earth’s layers from high-pressure laboratory experiments.
NGSSHS-ESS2-1
Develop a model to illustrate how Earth’s internal and surface processes operate at different spatial and temporal scales to form continental and ocean-floor features. Emphasis is on how the appearance of land features (such as mountains, valleys, and plateaus) and sea-floor features (such as trenches, ridges, and seamounts) are a result of both constructive forces (such as volcanism, tectonic uplift, and orogeny) and destructive mechanisms (such as weathering, mass wasting, and coastal erosion). Assessment does not include memorization of the details of the formation of specific geographic features of Earth’s surface.
NGSSHS-ESS1-5
Evaluate evidence of the past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks. Emphasis is on the ability of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks. Examples include evidence of the ages oceanic crust increasing with distance from mid-ocean ridges (a result of plate spreading) and the ages of North American continental crust decreasing with distance away from a central ancient core of the continental plate (a result of past plate interactions).
NGSSHS-ESS3-1
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. Examples of key natural resources include access to fresh water (such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater), regions of fertile soils such as river deltas, and high concentrations of minerals and fossil fuels. Examples of natural hazards can be from interior processes (such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes), surface processes (such as tsunamis, mass wasting and soil erosion), and severe weather (such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts). Examples of the results of changes in climate that can affect populations or drive mass migrations include changes to sea level, regional patterns of temperature and precipitation, and the types of crops and livestock that can be raised.
