In this continental drift worksheet, 7th graders answer 7 questions about Wegener's theory of continental drift. They use a diagram of the Earth's continents that show plate tectonics.

In this continental drift and fossils worksheet, students complete a puzzle of the continents and they answer questions about fossils, the layers of the earth's crust, Wegener's continental drift theory and the major plates.

In this Pangaea and Rodinia worksheet, students complete 16 sentences about Wegener's theory of continental drift, the meaning of Pangaea, and why people rejected the theory of continental drift.

In this plate tectonics activity, learners answer questions from a video about how the theory of plate movement came about along with questions about earthquakes, faults, seafloor spreading and other geological events.

In this earthquake and continental drift worksheet, learners answer five questions about continental drift, seismic waves and earthquake safety.

In this plate tectonics activity, students review concepts such as the types of plate boundaries, the concept of continental drift, sea-floor spreading, earthquakes, and plate tectonics. They match 30 terms with their definitions.
