I will be contacting other parents throughout the week to check in on you and give helpful pointers or tips about your progress. Keep up the Good Work!!!
Lesson Topic: Continental Drift and Pangaea
Lesson Overview: You guys are learning about 2 scientist Alfred Wegner and Henry Hess who provided concrete evidence to suggest that our continents have been moving and shifting for over 250 million years. Our continents started as a single land mass or continent called PANGAEA. Alfred Wegner and Henry Hess used evidence of patterns found on different continents to suggest that our continents have moved they looked at

- Mountain Patterns on various continents that seemed to match
- Fossil remains found in different locations in particular Mesosaurus remains which was a swimming animal found on dry land
- Plant remains in the form of fossils like the Glossipetris plant which was a plant found only in Antarctica but had remains in warmer climates like Africa
- Shapes and edges of continents fit like puzzle pieces
