Help your students build real understanding of engaging in argument through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "Which type of geological evidence would support the movement of tectonic plates?", "What evidence supports the theory of plate tectonics?", and "How is the age of sediment on the ocean floor typically determined?"
Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.
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, Continental Shield Crust, 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.
