6 PLATE TECTONICS


\\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png
IN THIS LESSON WE ARE GOING TO:
•revise some vocabulary and grammar from the previous lessons
•learn how to give a feedback and how to learn from the feedback (poster presentation)
•learn new vocabulary and phrases related to the topic of plate tectonics and the scientific method
•learn some basics about present and past participles and participial adjectives
(interesting/interested)

SCIENTIFIC METHOD
•Put the following phases in the correct order
1.Gathering data
2.The hypothesis becomes a theory
3.Prediction
4.Predictions are tested
5.Hypothesis proposed
6.A question asked or problem raised

STRUCTURES
•We will illustrate the scientific method by showing how plate tectonics has evolved.
•… to find only supporting evidence.
•Most of the questions being asked were treated as separate problems wanting separate hypotheses.
•Does melting take place in the descending plate or in the overlying mantle?
•A question asked or problem raised.
•
•What is the difference between supported and supporting evidence? J

DISCUSS
•
•We are working with the theory which was confirmed several years ago.
•The results which indicate that the continents are moving are convincing.
•A question which is being asked at the moment is serious.
•The information which was gathered increased enormously.
•The picture which illustrates this phenomenon is quite funny.
