These are "prescribed learning outcomes" for BCs integrated science 10 course.
IIt is expected that students will:
• compare a variety of techniques used to learn
about the earth
• use fossil evidence to illustrate how life forms
change over time
• compare techniques used for establishing
geological time scales
• identify major factors responsible for
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mountain
building, and formation of ocean ridges
• identify evidence that supports the theory
of plate tectonics
• assess impacts of volcanoes and earthquakes
on the environment
develop our understanding of the earth. Emphasis is
placed on plate tectonics, mountain building, fossil
evidence, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
• Provide students with a world map on which they
can identify major volcanoes, earthquakes, mountain
ranges, ocean ridges, and subduction zones.
From the location of these, students can infer the
boundaries of the major plates and mark them on the
map. Ask students to indicate the direction of plate
movement. This activity can be done throughout the
organizer.
• Have students make models of different kinds
of plate boundaries.
