These videos are recordings of online secondary teacher professional learning sessions, delivered by Geoscience Australia’s Education Team.
“Can I Fall Down the Cracks?” Plate Tectonic Misconceptions Part 1
This session focused on common misconceptions that are encountered when teaching plate tectonics. The student misconceptions addressed are:
1. We can’t see the tectonic plates (starting at 5:35)
2. The mantle is made of liquid rock (starting at 11:25)
3. The plates move by convection in the mantle (starting at 17:35)
4. When plates collide one always goes under the other (starting at 22:15)
57 minutes total duration, with Q&A with an expert scientist starting at 34 minutes.
“Can I Fall Down the Cracks?” Plate Tectonic Misconceptions Part 2
This session focused on common misconceptions that are encountered when teaching hazards associated with plate tectonics. The student misconceptions addressed are:
1. Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale (starting at 3:15)
2. The magnitude of an earthquake depends on how far away it is (starting at 7:20)
3. Earthquakes can be predicted (starting at 10:52)
This section includes a description of Raspberry Shake equipment: low cost
earthquake monitoring for the classroom
4. There are no volcanoes in Australia (starting at 18:25)
5. You can surf a tsunami (starting at 24:17)
51 minutes total duration, with Q&A with an expert scientist starting at 37 minutes.
