Plate Tectonics Stations

Student-led plate tectonics stations are a great way to get your kids moving and interacting with new content in a variety of fun and engaging ways! Students will learn, interact, and engage with new content about continental drift, plate tectonics, plate boundary interactions, resulting geologic features, and more!

These eight plate tectonic stations focus on continental drift and plate tectonics. All stations are neatly presented, have easy to understand directions, and require minimal prep from you. Your download also includes a lesson plan with NGSS standards, detailed teacher’s guide, and a stations handout for absent students.
