Plate Tectonics SciPack Review
This SciPack has an abundance of information! Would be perfect for a thorough study of plate tectonics in the classroom. Allows students to individually discover many different concepts in relation to plate tectonics. I would likely only have students complete one section at a time, as doing sections back to back can be overwhelming. Overall, however, the SciPack contains detailed explanations, visuals, and quiz questions that do a good job of checking for understanding. Really made me think and furthered my understanding of plate tectonics.
