SWBAT/Standard
SWBAT investigate theory
of plate tectonics as it
applies to the composition
and formation of the earth’s
surface
SWBAT utilize
documents and
research to investigate
the composition and
formation of the earth’s
surface
SWBAT orally describe
the 3 types of plate
boundaries as
identified within the
theory of plate

stations to further
understanding
