Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics

Step 5: Communicating Science

Now it's time for you to communicate your results in a science dissemination format, as a video (3 minutes length).

Process

Step 1

Make a list of the key data (the data allowing you to extract the main conclusions).

Step 2

Write a storyboard for your video.

Step 3

Prepare the materials you need, and register your video.

The Product

In the resulting video, you should:

  • Present a comprehensive description of the changes in the shapes and positions of the continents
  • Localize the edges of the tectonic plates, and describe which kind of plate limits are (constructive, destructive, transformant)
  • Justify your conclusions on data
  • Identify the parts of the map you weren't able to solve and explain which are your hypothesis and the controverted/lacking data
  • Use all the terms of the scientific vocabulary

Important Notes

  • The video should last a maximum of 3 minutes
  • Can include images or fragments of external videos
  • Remember that you are talking to a non-specialized public
  • Explain/develop the scientific terms when you use them
