Plate tectonic is simply describe as the movement of plates inside the earth. This is a theory that was found by the observation of human being. More accurately, found by Alfred Wagner. He was the one that came up with the theory of continental shift, though people back in his time simply think he was a crazy man.
There were four layers in the earth that make up this planet. Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core. Those four layers are listed in order from the very top of where we step on until the very deep inside of earth. Without too much explanation, we could see the crust is the layer where we step on, is the most coolest but while it get deeper, it get hotter. Inner core is the hottest layer, I don't suggest you try how hot it is, just saying.
There were also the three types of plate boundaries that related to the theory of plate tectonic. The convergent, divergent and the transform boundaries. As we could see from the name that convergent, it contain "co", so it must be friendly, it will come together for it therefore the movement is pull together. Of course divergent contain "di", um I guess it wanted to be separated so the movement was pull away. Last but not least, transform boundary, it is the movement of slide passing.
Fault was a great connection to plate tectonic, they are like families. similar to plate boundaries, fault also have three types: Normal, Reverse, and Strike Slid. This case, the normal is the movement of going downward. While reverse go upward. The strike slid is the same as transform, is the movement of slide passing.
I think the fact that the earth is moving is very cool, since I remember when I was a kid, I love science, I like it so much that I was once wanted to become a either scientist or science teacher. But as we human building more factories and more pollution, we are going to destroy this planet in a matter of time. As the data showed from daily news, more earthquakes, tsunamis, more and more natural disaster happen. I think the fact the plate are moving, is like giving a warning to human being that if we take care of the planet, soon the whole planet will move(remove) away and we left with nothing.
6) I liked the lab part because I just love testing stuff and finding out new things from exploring through experiment.
7) Not much of struggle I think, it was pretty smooth.
8) In order to learn, you have to take actions, like research, writing, doing labs, etc. Not just sit there and be like "I don't know".
9) I will take more time to do my work, since sometime I am kind of rushing.
10) The testing part, it's kind of unnecessary, because normally when people looked up information and write it down, it will remain in their brains(normally) plus it will be more easy for the students too.
