Pangea

On Friday, we looked at the shape of the continents and noticed how they might fit together. Students cut out shapes of the continents (as well as a few other major regions) and created a poster of how the Earth's land masses are arranged now, and how they were arranged 200 million years ago as PANGEA. This video clip from the Ice Age creators offers a funny, alternative version of what broke apart Pangea and set the Earth's land masses in motion. We will be learning the more accurate, scientific version of how the earth has changed over the next couple of weeks in science, so we will not be spending much time on it in Social Studies class.
