For this project, students are asked to construct a 3D model of Earth displaying its tectonic plates. On the back of the model, students are asked to answer research questions about Plate Tectonics and label diagrams of the 3 Types of Boundaries (Convergent, Divergent, Transform).

The surface of Earth is divided into 15 different pieces called tectonic plates that move and bump into each other, creating mountains, valleys, trenches, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. For this project, students are asked to construct a 3D model of Earth displaying its tectonic plates.

A 3D model of the globe can help students visualize the tectonic plates on Earth. Students also learn about the correct shape, size and location of the plates and how they interact with one another.
