Understanding tectonic plates - KS2
<p>This lesson is designed for KS2 students. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of three wider units, all of which are available on TES:</p>

<p>The presentation introduces the idea that the world’s crust is split into tectonic plates and looks at how these are related to volcanoes and earthquakes.</p>
<p>The activity challenges students to identify tectonic plates using a map. It is differentiated two ways:</p>
<p><strong>Easier</strong> – Students identify the world’s tectonic plates using a colour-coordinated map.<br />
<strong>Harder</strong> – Students identify the world’s tectonic plates using a plain map.</p>
<p><strong>Extension</strong> – Students use an atlas to find out which tectonic plate countries of the world are located on.</p>
