Below you will find both the Science Standards and the Technology Standards for this webquest. The Science Standards are derived from Lyndon Academy's curriculum and the Technology Standards are obtained from the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE-S).
Science Standards
Essential Questions:
Can the movement of the Earth's plates and the material within be constructive and destructive?
How do volcanoes, mountains, and earthquakes support the Theory of Plate Tectonics?
Skills:
-Describe convection currents and its involvment in plate movement.
-Distinguish between the layers of the Earth and their properties.
-Recognize the importance of the nature of the astenosphere in the movement of tectonic plates.
-Define and explain transform, convergent,divergent, sea-floor spreading, and subduction.
-Describe the different types of boundaries between plates and how they form volcanoes, mountains, and earthquakes.
