These plate tectonics task cards make excellent bell ringers or daily quizzes to start off or end each class period for your plate tectonics unit. Your download includes 20 days worth of assessment questions covering plate boundaries, Pangaea, types of crust, geologic features at plate boundaries, sea-floor spreading, and more!
It is my favorite way to engage students at the beginning or end of each class!

⭐ Why These Task Cards are Great ⭐
- These plate tectonics task cards are not numbered. Instead they each are given a letter. That way you don’t have to present them in order. This is very important to me because I do not always use all the activities, want to add cards, or different classes are at different points in the unit. The answer key corresponds to letters, not numbers, so you can switch it up without confusing your students.
- So Versatile! You can use these in tons of ways! – Bell ringers, exit tickets, gallery walk, test review, task cards, stations, partner work, distance learning, formative assessment, and more!
- Beautiful graphics, clear formatting, and lots of science diagrams!
- Variety of Activities – Students won’t get bored of the same style every day! Multiple choice, T/F, Venn Diagrams, Labeling Diagram, Fill-in-Blanks, Short Answer, etc.
- Template cards and editable student answer sheets are included
- Absents students? No Problem! These task cards also come in a tinier format so you can print out a short packet for your absent students or those who need to catch up.
