Tectonic+Plates

= Learning about the Tectonic Plates =

We are learning to understand that the earth is made up of tectonic plates that are constantly moving.

We will show we understand this when we can: - show where the main plates are on a map and label them - highlight the plates that affect New Zealand - write at least one interesting fact about the tectonic plates

Do this in your topic book.
