Abstract

In this study the geological concept of Plate Tectonics was adapted to a 2nd grade learning level. Unlike a regular lesson plan, this project emphasized the geological concept. A major aspect of the work was taking higher level ideas and presenting them in engaging ways to address multiple learning such as kinesthetic and visual learning, via plate tectonics.
