Plate Tectonics

A simplified kid friendly video on plate tectonics and the different types of boundaries

A lab showing how plate tectonics works using only a plastic butter knife and a milky way, cutting the milky way in half and then pulling it apart (the students would be in pairs)

A lab showing how plate tectonics works using graham crackers, frosting, and rice cakes, also showing different types of boundaries

Oreo Tectonics - En Tequila Es Verdad | Plate tectonics, Elementary science, 6th grade scienceJul 19, 2016 - I’m one of those freaks of nature who doesn’t much like Oreos. However, I feel differently about them now that many of you, along with my Facebook friend Raymond Dickey, shared this:Okay, now I want an Oreo cookie! I didn’t realize they could be such perfect geology teaching tools. I’ll have to employ them when …

Activity showing how plate tectonics works and the different boundaries using the Oreo frosting to maneuver the Oreo cookies

Plate Tectonics | Plate tectonics, Science lessons, Teaching geographyJun 28, 2016 - This hands-on science activity is designed to teach students who are blind or visually impaired about tectonic plates.

Taking a map and cutting it into puzzle pieces to create the different plate tectonics, and the students put the pieces back together to see how they fit

Earthquakes

Two earthquake videos for children explaining what earthquakes are and a little more information on plate tectonics

An earthquake activity with building structures and seeing the destruction an earthquake can cause, using jello, sticks/toothpicks, marshmallows, and an aluminum bin

In this video it shows how you can use a slinky to demonstrate P and S waves
