- Know the layers of the Earth and some basic information about their properties.
- Be able to explain and defend which food item is the best representation of these layers.
Topic 2: Continental Drift
- Be able to explain what evidence Wegener had for his theory of Continental Drift. Why was his theory not accepted? What evidence was he missing?
Topic 3: Seafloor Spreading
- Be able to explain what seafloor spreading.
- Know why Wegener would have benefited from knowing about it.
