Plate Tectonics and the 6th Grade PBL

Welcome!!!
You will be creating a public service announcement to people living in areas of plate tectonic activity. You will create an educational video/slideshow to reassure/ educate the residents about what causes these things and why they happen in certain locations more frequently. 
You are doing this because you passed the STAAR! Now, while we await the STAAR science results, we are going to get ready for sixth grade by doing a project. In response to the question of, "what do sixth graders struggle with in science?", the answer was plate tectonics. Here are the  links you will be using to do your research. Remember to make sure that you copy and paste the address of the websites you use into a document so that you will have a works cited!
