This document provides instructions for an activity where students cut out continents and match up fossil and mountain evidence to reconstruct the supercontinent Pangea. Students are directed to label and color code the continents and evidence in the legend, then cut out the continents and glue them together in the correct configuration based on the shared fossil and mountain formations. The goal is for students to use geological evidence to recreate Pangea and learn about continental drift.

DIRECTIONS: 1) Label each continent with its name.
2) Color the fossils or mountains in the legend and color the symbols on each continent in the colors of the legend. 3) Cut out the continents and match up the fossil and mountain evidence to recreate Pangea. 4) Glue the continents into place on your contruction paper.
