Description

• The continents are part of large lithospheric plates that have moved over geological time and continue to move at a rate of centimeters per year
• Tracing the history of science demonstrates how individuals contributed to the development of modern scientific ideas, and reveals important interactions between science and society
• Specially designed and annoted puzzle pieces represent the earth's continents to investigate the idea of continental drift.
• In Part I, an exploratory activity, students attempt to fit the puzzle pieces into one large continent using clues provided by the shape and the geologic evidence contained on each piece.
• In Part II students read a selection of statements about continental drift and determine whether those statements are evidence or opinion and if the evidence presented provides support for continental drift.
