Wegener’s Puzzling Evidence

We cut out the continents and tried to assemble them like puzzle pieces to begin to see what Alfred Wegener saw when he was putting his Theory of Continental Drift together. Then we analyzed the fossil data to find additional evidence in the fossil record. When finished it looked like the picture below. We then wrote the evidence we found on our Continental Drift Concept Maps.
