Pangaea Lessons

Explore Pangaea Lessons

Pangaea presentations offer comprehensive concept explanation and visual learning opportunities that bring the theory of continental drift to life through structured instruction. These teacher-created resources available through Wayground help students understand how Earth's continents were once connected as a single supercontinent approximately 335 million years ago, using detailed diagrams, geological evidence, and animation sequences to illustrate the gradual breakup and movement of landmasses over geological time. The presentations develop critical scientific thinking skills by guiding students through the evidence that supports Pangaea theory, including matching fossils across ocean basins, similar rock formations on different continents, and paleoclimatic data that reveals how ancient climate zones align when continents are repositioned. Wayground supports educators with millions of teacher-created presentation resources that can be easily located through robust search and filtering capabilities, allowing instructors to find materials that align with specific Earth and Space Science standards and learning objectives. Teachers can customize these Pangaea presentations to differentiate instruction for diverse learners, adjusting content complexity and pacing to meet individual student needs while maintaining engagement through interactive visual elements. The platform's digital-first delivery format enables seamless integration into classroom instruction, remote learning environments, and hybrid teaching models, providing educators with flexible tools for lesson planning, concept reinforcement, and enrichment activities that deepen student understanding of plate tectonics and geological processes.
