Step 2: Give each student a colored “star”. Explain how they “plot” their star.

Step 3: Have students move around to “plot” their star. Stop and tell those that are correct to stand still and then have those that are not correct to try again.

Plate Tectonic Shuffle

8.9B relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features

Vocabulary---Converge- move together

Diverge- move apart SongTransform- slide past

Subduct- go underneath

Page 8: Kreating Kinesthetic                      Klassrooms

Diverge 4 steps away from your shoulder partner

Page 9: Kreating Kinesthetic                      Klassrooms

Converge--4 steps back towards your shoulder partner

Page 10: Kreating Kinesthetic                      Klassrooms

Transform-- Left 2 steps forward then 2 backRight 2 steps back then 2 forward.

Page 11: Kreating Kinesthetic                      Klassrooms

Subduct-- Line on right hold up arm and left line goes underneath to switch places.

When the plates diverge They make new ocean floor

When the plates divergeThey make new ocean floor

When the plates transformThey cause the earth

to quakeWhen the plates subductthey leave volcanoes

in their wake

Got a brand new danceGotta move your muscle

A brand new danceIt’s called tectonic shuffle

Wegner said that the platesMoved slow

----We gonna show you how it goes

Periodic Cake Walk8.5C Interpret the arrangement of the Periodic Table, including groups and

periods, to explain how properties are used to classify elements.

SkipA

Few

• Draw this piece of thePeriodic Table out on a concrete area using chalk.• Give each student a whiteboard and a marker.• Play some music and havestudents walk around the outside of the drawing.

• When the music stops have them go to a square and then ask themquestions such as How many valence electrons? Metals or non-metals?
