Shifting Ground: Plates and Earthquakes

Ines is halfway through a quiz when the windows rattle. Students learn Earth's layers, the evidence Wegener saw for moving continents, the three kinds of plate boundaries, how earthquakes start and are measured, and how to stay safe when the ground shakes.

Grades 6–8 · Earth science, science, safety

What is inside

  • The day the floor moved
  • A planet in pieces (Wegener's evidence)
  • Where plates meet (three boundary types)
  • When the ground breaks loose
  • Ready when it shakes
  • Check your understanding (13-question graded quiz, 75% to pass, 3 attempts)
  • Going further (two short videos)

The last lesson has two YouTube videos, so that lesson needs internet access. Everything else works offline.
