    This lesson plan introduces students to the theory of continental drift through a video explaining Alfred Wegener's evidence and ideas. Students take notes on the video and answer questions about continental drift and the development of plate tectonics. They then analyze and rank the seven pieces of evidence for continental drift in groups. Finally, students write a persuasive letter supporting Wegener's theory of continental drift using the evidence and their notes. The lesson concludes by setting homework and allowing time for additional lithosphere activities if possible.

    available for students to refer to)

    1. Explain the theory of continental drift


    2. What were the essential points in formulating the theory of plate
    tectonics?

    Group work: (In table groups)


     Read/ analyse/ examine ALL SEVEN sets of evidence that have
    been given on the theory of continental drift
     In groups, you are required to rank the pieces of evidence from

    supports Alfred Wegner’s theory (ranked 1) to the least
    supportive evidence (ranked 7).

    structure on board.

    *If time allows: PP- How continents grow


    Students answer the following questions in workbooks:
    1. In what direction is the plate Australia moving and how quickly?
    2. Explain the differences between diverging and converging plate
    boundaries
    3. Which mountain range is formed by the collision of the Indian
    and Eurasian plates?
    4. Describe how horizontal movement of plates cause mountain
    building, earthquakes and volcanic activity

    Conclusion of lesson (last 5 min)-


     Set homework/ collect writing task.
    If time allows/ Extra activities for students:
     Students can begin to fill in Lithosphere Glossary definitions
    (worksheet) using the textbook.
