Understanding Plate Movements and Technology

The lesson focuses on understanding the rates of plate movement using GPS data. It begins with a warm-up activity, followed by a teacher-led video on GPS. Students then engage in a simulation to construct boundaries and calculate movement rates. A discussion using a word bank helps reinforce learning, and the lesson concludes with a homework activity to apply the concepts learned.

What is the first activity students engage in during the lesson?

• Watching a video on GPS

• Analyzing an image and responding

• Participating in a discussion

• Completing a homework assignment

What technology is introduced in the teacher's step to help understand plate maps?

• Seismograph

• Radar technology

• Satellite imagery

• Global Positioning System (GPS)

What is the significance of the GPS in the context of this lesson?
