Abstract
This short video by the Geoscience Australia Education Team is targeted at upper primary students but is suitable for a wider audience. It introduces the concept of tectonic plates making use of a tectonic plates puzzle. Students are asked to predict the direction and speed of plate movement and consider where and why earthquakes happen on the Australian Plate. It is an introduction to major concepts of Earth science delivered in a light-hearted manner with an interactive presentation style.
