The document summarizes evidence for continental drift presented in a science lesson, including that the same fossils are found on continents now separated by oceans, glacial grooves cut into rocks match up on several continents indicating they were once joined, and the shapes of continents suggest they fit together like puzzle pieces forming the supercontinent Pangaea. The lesson objective is for students to be able to cite evidence that the continents have moved around Earth over time.

Drift Sticky Note Journal Objective Students will be able to…
Cite evidence that the continents have moved
around the Earth.
Remember: our most fundamental goal in Science is to understand
what is happening in the world around us. Notebook Page 29: Evidence for Continental Drift Notes Scientist, Alfred Wegener, discovered several pieces of evidence that prove all of the continents were once connected: 1. Same fossils found on continents now separated by oceans. 2. Glacial grooves cut into rocks match up on several continents. 3. Continents look like they fit together like puzzle pieces (Africa and South America).
This huge landmass of all the continents is known as
