    Uploaded by

    calix riparip
    This document contains materials for science teachers training on teaching plate tectonics, including activity sheets, maps, and simulations. The activities guide students to label tectonic plates, observe distributions of earthquakes and volcanoes, and classify plate boundaries as convergent, divergent, or transform based on their movements in a simulation. Teachers analyze relationships between plate tectonics and associated geologic features to understand the scientific basis for dividing the lithosphere into plates.
