Help your students build real understanding of continental shield crust through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Sample questions include "What is a significant geological feature of continental shields?", "Which of the following best describes the geological structure of a typical accretion zone?", and "What type of geological formations are commonly found in accretion zones?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Crustal Age Patterns, Mid Ocean Ridges and Age, Radiometric Dating as a Tool, Plate Tectonic Movements, Engaging in Argument, and Atlantic Ocean Floor Age, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard HS-ESS1-5.
