Biology 30 - Evidence of Evolution Part 1
This 6-minute video lesson looks at the idea of Pangaea and some of the evidence behind it. [Cosmology and Astronomy playlist: Lesson 56 of 85]
Students gather evidence to explain the theory of plate tectonics. Using the online resources at the Earthquakes Living Lab, students examine information and gather evidence supporting the theory. They also look at how volcanoes and earthquakes are explained by tectonic plate movement, and how engineers use this information. Working in pairs, students think like engineers and connect what they understand about the theory of plate tectonics to the design of structures for earthquake-resistance. A worksheet serves as a student guide for the activity.
