Day 144: Continental Drift Lab
By Mr. G on Apr 8, 2008 in Geology, Featured
What evidence exists that the continents of the Earth have drifted around on the globe over the past several million years? Today, we examined three main pieces of evidence: the fossil record, rock & climate records, and glaciers.
All three of these objects leave significant evidence that the continents were once connected and have since drifted apart. Today’s class was largely spent on the continental drift puzzle activity as we close out the geology unit. Next week we’ll spend most of the time completing a lab utilizing the stream tables to explore how water flows over the Earth’s surface. We’ll also tackle the test over the second half of the geology unit.
Homework: Complete the Continental Drift lab prior to the start of class on Monday.
