Alright bros, I’m gonna do a school post, so let’s get into it. I hope you enjoy it and the fun project we did!
I’ll admit I didn’t know much about plate tectonics when I first started. Anyway I basically learned about how earthquakes happen when gigantic plates of rock holding up our continents interact by separating, crashing together, or rubbing up against each other. I also learned that these earthquakes cause things like mountains and volcanoes appear. A bit hard to process? Just do your best then. Yet another thing I learned was how these continents move. I already knew they had moved, but I had no idea how. I now know it is because convection currents in the mantle of the earth push them around. What’s that? It’s not getting easier to process? Well just look at the mind map below.
(It’s too small to read, I know, if you want to see it well, just copy it and paste it into a document, then you can see it!)
So, the skills I learned, let’s start with evaluating. I’ve always been pretty good at evaluating my own, and sometimes others, work. However, I’m not that great at evaluation of information I’m given, though I’ve gotten better In recent years.
Then there’s using my class time efficiently, not gonna lie, I suck at it. I have an iPad for work in front of me all day at school. Couple that with ADHD and you got one distracted kid at school.
Next skill, explaining how plate tectonics is a unifying theory. I did ok at this one, but I was more focused on making a story.
Finally, applying and innovating. I created my own content for my project, and applied all my new skills.
So yeah… that’s my school post. I hope I did good on it, but it still ends the same way all my posts do. With a big, fat:
