Mr. Mitchell's science class took a different approach for learning "Plate Tectonics". Students were given a check list of different learning opportunities and students were given the ability to choose how they learned the information. The students had 10 school days or 2.5 weeks to complete the chapter and take the test. Mr. Mitchell felt students did an outstanding job of self monitoring and worked well for the entire assignment.
The standards covered in this unit were:
8-9.ES.1.1.2 Apply the concepts of order and organization to a given system.
8-9.ES.1.2.2 Develop models to explain concepts or systems.
8-9.ES.1.6.4 Formulate scientific explanations and models using logic and evidence.
8-9.ES.4.2.1 Explain the internal energy sources of the earth
Examples of student work!!!
