1 LT: I am learning how the forces within the asthenosphere affect the lithosphere. The purpose is to identify how land formations are affected by the asthenosphere. Today we will build -model plate boundary formations CW: Gram cracker Plate Boundaries, and Plate Boundaries foldable. HW: complete Plate Boundaries Foldable Warm UP: Describe the arrows on the picture Language Goal! I can use the vocabulary words divergent, convergent, transform, boundary

2 The arrows within the picture/map are indicating the direction the tectonic plates are moving due to the convection current beneath the lithosphere. Arrows show converging ,diverging and transforming boundaries. An example would be the transforming boundaries in California, they are sliding past each other.

3 Yesterday we learned…….
There are plates … tectonic plates to be exact that move because of the pressure and convection current in the mantel/asthenoshpere.. We also learned, that where plate boundaries are lie most of the activity due to the plate movements….such as earthquakes and volcanic action. Today we are going to model the 3 types of tectonic plate boundaries. You should focus on the name of the boundaries, what the movements are and what each boundary type makes on the earth surface.

4 How does this move the plates?

5 Materials Graham crackers Water Frosting Paper plate pencils
Looks Like Sounds Like Using materials as asked Discussing and working on task given Participating in class discussion when asked Voice level 0 when teacher or other students are talking To whole class Voice level 1 with shoulder partner when given a task Talking about science Graham crackers Water Frosting Paper plate pencils

6 Part 1 Draw a diagram on worksheet in part 1.
1. Label the mantel, oceanic crust 2. Label what boundary this is. 3. What landform can be created?

7 Part 2 Draw a diagram on WS for part 2.
Mantle Mantle Draw a diagram on WS for part 2. 1. Label the mantel, and the 2 types of crust 2. Label what boundary this is. 3. What landform is created?

8 Part 3 Draw a diagram on WS for part 3.
Mantle Draw a diagram on WS for part 3. 1. Label the mantel, and type of crust 2. Label what boundary this is. 3. What landform is created?

9 Part 4 Draw a diagram on WS for part 4.
1. Label the mantel, and the type of crust 2. Label what boundary this is. 3. Was there a landform created, what happens here?

10 Did you meet the Learning Target? True or False
The movement of Divergent, Convergent and Transform boundaries can cause earthquakes to happen? Transform boundaries cause mountains to form. Divergent boundaries where 1 continental plates meets 1 oceanic plate causes sea floor spreading. Volcanoes can be formed when oceanic and continental plates meet at a convergent boundary.

11 Make a foldable that describes the three plate boundary formations and describe what each plate boundary cause on the earth surface.
