Plate Tectonics
This three and a half minute video clip covers the basic information about Plate Tectonics. It is from an Earth science educational video for middle school. the visuals in this video can be useful for children in understanding what plates and boundaries look like.
Forces of Nature
An interactive lab that covers earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Basic facts as well as interesting simulations can be seen and explained on this website.
National Geographic Videos
An excellent source for educational videos of first-hand accounts with animals, news, science, nature, and more.
Earth Science
This science textbook website provides chapter summaries, quizes, tests, and outside links to learn more information about the topics.
Plate Tectonics Webquest
This webquest is an excellent way for students to build research skills and learn more about plate tectonics.
Earth Floor-Plate Tectonics
This website has easy-to-understand information about plates, boundaries, and the effects plate tectonics can have on the world. There are several pictures and bright colors to keep it eye-catching for students.
Mountain Maker, Earth Shaker
This PBS website gives students the ability to move plates around and see what happens. The type of boundary that is created by the movement is also explained in a short paragraph.
Pangea Animation
This website provides a full animation of how the plates have changed since the Earth's creation. Students can see how all of the tectonic plates have moved from their location in "Pangea" to where they are now.
Plate Tectonics Puzzle
This website has a short quiz to help students review. When answered correctly, a piece of the puzzle will begin to form. When all questions are answered correctly, students will see a diagram of plate tectonics. This is great because students can check themselves and they will know when they answered a question incorrectly.
Plate Tectonics Quiz
This is another great review quiz that also provides further explanation for why the answer is correct. Students can try a question again if they get one incorrect and the questions and answers are easy-to-understand.
