Project Task
Create an animation of a process that you learned about in section 3. You might make one of the following:
Then, in a brief summary, explain how your animation shows an important concept related to an Earth change from this section.
Create an animation of a process that you learned about in section 3. You might make one of the following:
- a flipbook of the breakup of Pangaea
- a claymation of a hot spot island chain being made
- an animated gif of the formation of a continental mountain range
- a stop-motion Lego movie of a mantle plume
- a simple series of drawings that shows how tectonic plates move
- some inventive idea you have to show Earthβs changes
Then, in a brief summary, explain how your animation shows an important concept related to an Earth change from this section.
Before starting your design, ask yourself these questions:
"How can my animation represent a concept related to plate tectonics?"
and
"How can I explain my animation using proper vocabulary and labels?"
and
"How can I explain my animation using proper vocabulary and labels?"
Method
An animation for this project can be produced in various ways:
Please check with your teacher before you decide which method to use. Remember that, whatever method you choose, you must send a copy of your work to your teacher for marking.
An animation for this project can be produced in various ways:
- Construct a simple flip-book, or a series of images that would form an animation.
- Construct a stop-motion or claymation movie, or an animated gif, using a camera and movie software on your computer.
- Use PowerPoint, Keynote, Wideo, Prezi, or some other software or website to make a creative animation.
Please check with your teacher before you decide which method to use. Remember that, whatever method you choose, you must send a copy of your work to your teacher for marking.
Requirements
You must create...
You must create...
- An animation, or series of images, that shows one of the processes related to plate tectonics discussed in section 3 of this unit (Your animation must be at least four frames or pictures long.)
- An animation that relates directly to a process in mountain building, plate tectonics, continental drift, or hot spots, as mentioned in this section
- A summary of your work, including proper vocabulary and descriptions of the processes you have chosen to animate.
Remember you must write about the processes and explain them in your own words. You cannot just copy and paste from various websites or the textbook.
