Geography
Destructive Plate Boundaries
Year/Grade 9
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the key stage 3 geography curriculum, specifically focusing on tectonic processes and the impact of destructive plate boundaries on the Earth's structure and human activity.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 mins | Briefly introduce the topic of tectonic plates, focusing on destructive plate boundaries. Ask students for prior knowledge and experiences with earthquakes or volcanic activity. |
| 2 | Presentation | 10 mins | Use a PowerPoint presentation to explain destructive plate boundaries, including key characteristics (subduction zones, trench formation, etc.) and examples. Include visuals and diagrams. |
| 3 | Group Activity | 8 mins | Divide the class into small groups of 4. Provide each group a map of destructive plate boundaries and ask them to identify and label major locations worldwide (e.g., the Pacific Ring of Fire). |
| 4 | Class Discussion | 4 mins | Bring the class back together to discuss findings from group activity. Facilitate a discussion on the impact of these boundaries on local populations and environments. |
| 5 | Homework Assignment | 3 mins | Assign students to research a recent earthquake or volcanic activity related to destructive plate boundaries, focusing on causes, effects, and responses. Collect handouts with their previous homework answers for feedback without presentations. |
The teacher will review the homework submissions for understanding and engagement with the topic. Feedback will be provided in written form to each student individually.
