1. TDIT.
2. Show presentation and then clip of collision margin and destructive margin.
3. Students draw fold mountains onto a world map and label which are destructive and collision margins using NT p12 A, plus label Andes, Alps, Himalayas, Rockies, Mariana and Atacama trenches.
4. Show collision clip again and students draw cross-section (profile) with labels (including key terms). Repeat for destructive margin possibly using simplified version of previous lessons diagram.
5. Students draw NT p13 B.

1. TDIT
2. World map of tectonic plates
3. Plates jigsaw
4. Annotate plate margin cross-sections (below) using NT p10/11 D, E, F
5. Add examples:
· Destructive (subduction) = Nazca moving under South American – Andes Mts
· Destructive (collision) = Indian towards Eurasian – Himalaya Mts
· Constructive = Eurasian & North American away from each other - Mid Atlantic Ridge/Iceland
· Conservative = Pacific & North American moving alongside each other – San Andreas Fault, California

Plenary
|
a. How quickly do plates move?
b. Give an example of a conservative plate margin.
c. What happens at a destructive plate boundary?
d. How was Iceland formed?
