Tectonic Plates KomaKoma Videos

In order to demonstrate their understanding of tectonic plate movement, the kids made KomaKoma stop motion videos.  See if you can understand how tectonic plates move at convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries after watching these videos.

These pictures show you the process the kids use to make these videos.






Cardboard Challenge Games

The kids worked hard designing and building their Cardboard Challenge Games.

They recorded their videos to explain their game and demonstrate how it worked.  They did a great job of using their game to collect data.  They also used the data they collected to make modifications to their game.  They utilized a lot of problem solving and critical thinking skills throughout this project.  I was amazed at what they accomplished!
