Future of the Earth Project Part B: History of a Specific Place

Hey Hey Hey All-Stars!

For Part B of your project, which is due on Friday, February 1, you need to do the following:

1) Chose a specific place on your supercontinent. Label and name it on your map
2) Think about where your place was in 2013.
3) Draw a comic strip or flip book OR write a news story telling how your specific place formed.

Your final product should be neat, colorful, creative, free of grammatical errors, easy to follow, and scientifically accurate. Look at your project sheet and rubric for more information.

Here is a video showing how the Himalayas form. If you chose a mountain as your specific place and drew the images in this video showing how the mountains formed step-by-step you'd be on the right track!

Here is a diagram showing how rift valleys form on continents if your place is a rift valley:

This site explains how to write a news article if you chose that option.

This site has a Kim Possible-science-y comic that might spark some ideas. If you chose to make a flip book or comic, it should focus on the process of the geologic events. Extra credit may be awarded if I laugh when I read it :-). 

Feel free to choose any other geologic formation for your specific place. Ask me if you are stuck! You can come in at lunch on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday!

I look forward to seeing your projects!
