Continental Drift Concept Map

In class we watched the video. about Alfred Wegener and his theory of Continental Drift. Then we created a concept map to keep track of the evidence he used to write his theory. 

If you missed creating a concept map with us you can use this one:

If you would like to make your own follow the instructions below: 

1) Get a sheet of lined paper and turn it sideways. 

2) Put a bubble in the middle of your page. In that bubble write “Continental Drift” and define it. (See the example.)

3) Create bubbles that connect to the bubble in the middle as you learn new pieces of evidence that support Wegener’s Theory of Continental Drift. 

*Evidence can be found in the following places: 

a. Wegener Video

b. Wegener’s Puzzling Evidence Activity

c. Article – Evidence for the Movement of Continents
