PLATE BOUNDARIES CLASS PROJECT
Learning Objective:​ ​Plate Tectonics and the formation of crustal features.
Project Objective:​ Create 3D Models and a Digital Presentation about one type of plate
boundary to be presented to the class as an introduction to our plate boundaries objective.
Project Steps:
Day 1-2
1. One person in group open ​Plate Boundaries Presentation​ and share with group members.
2. Divide the slides up to be completed by group members.
a. Do not to get any information from Google. Open up resource and make certain it
is a credible resource.
b. Put all information in your own words. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! Slides should
NOT be WORDY!
c. Place your Name on slide(s) you completed (bottom right corner)
d. Add design, color, change fonts, animation… make your slide look creative and
easy to read
Day 3:
3. Design, Build and Label a 3D Model of your type of Plate Boundary.
Day 4:​ Present
