    EVENT TRAINING STRATEGIES


    2016 SCIENCE OLYMPIAD SUMMER INSTITUTE
    PHOENIX, AZ
    BELL WORK ACTIVITY
    Remove the top layer from one of the Oreo cookies. Ideally, this will leave the
    white creamy center of the cookie over a dark bottom layer.
    BELL WORK ACTIVITY
    Place the bottom layer covered with the white center on the left side of the
    paper plate or blank sheet of paper.

    Yes you can eat the biscuit without the creamy white filling

    At the top of the plate or paper, write a


    title such as Earth Structure or Layers
    of the Earth. You can also originate
    your own title if you wish.
    BELL WORK ACTIVITY
    Place a dollop of chocolate syrup in the center of the exposed creamy white
    center of the cookie.
    BELL WORK ACTIVITY
    Place the M&M in the center of the chocolate syrup dollop.
    BELL WORK ACTIVITY
    Label the four Earth structures represented by the cookie including inner core
    (M&M), outer core (chocolate syrup), mantle (white creamy center) and crust
    (dark outer layer of cookie).

    Inner Core

    Outer Core

    Mantle

    2017 DYNAMIC PLANET
    EVENT OVERVIEW
    2017 EVENT OVERVIEW
    The 2017 Dynamic Planet Event will focus upon large scale processes affecting
    the structure of Earths Crust
    2017 EVENT OVERVIEW
    The rotation of Dynamic Planet events will change from bi-annual to annual
    beginning in 2017. Future rotations include:

    Glaciers 2018

    Earths Fresh Waters 2019

    Oceanography 2020

    The Earth/Space Science Event Committee has also discussed the possibility
    of other themes that may be added to the Dynamic Planet rotation including
    Deserts, The Atmosphere, Soil Chemistry and Extra-Terrestrial Planets
    2017 EVENT OVERVIEW
    Areas of emphasis for 2017 will include:
    Theory of tectonic plate movement
    Identification of Earth layers
    Types of plates, boundaries and margins
    Types of tectonic basins
    Driving forces of plate tectonics
    Plate movements
    Aulacogens and hot spots
    Isostatic adjustments
    Magmatization
    Geologic history of North America
    Interpretation of geophysical data
    Economic geology and engineering practices
    YOU WILL NEED TO:
    Switch your event content from Oceanography to Plate Tectonics and
    associated topics including volcanoes, Earthquakes, tsunamis, and
    geologic history

    Realize that the focus of the 2017 Dynamic Planet Event is


    much more than volcanoes and Earthquakes

    TECTONIC PLATE BOUNDARIES
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    Though Alfred Wegener was the first to suggest the theory of continental drift and
    plate tectonics in 1915, it wasnt widely accepted until the 1960s and 1970s.
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    New information obtained about the nature of the ocean floor, Earths magnetism, the
    distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes, the flow of heat from Earths interior, and
    the worldwide distribution of plant and animal fossils led to a greater acceptance of
    Wegener's theory.
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earths lithosphere is broken up into 15
    tectonic plates.
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    Seven large plates include:

    African
    North American

    South American

    Eurasian

    Australian

    Antarctic

    Pacific
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    Several minor plates also exist. They include:

    Arabian

    Nazca

    Philippine
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    The remaining plates include:

    Indian

    Cocos

    Caribbean

    Scotia

    Juan DeFuca
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    These plates are all moving in different directions and at different speeds from 2 cm to
    10 cm per year in relationship to each other atop the hot plastic upper mantle, known
    as the asthenosphere.
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    These plates are in motion as a result of convection in the asthenosphere created by
    the compression of molten nickel and iron in Earths core.
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    Plates may converge (collide) at their boundaries
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS
    Plates may slide past one another in Transform boundaries
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT
    So what seems to be happening is that radiative forces within Earths core are
    causing crustal plates to move into, away, above and below one another.
    CONTINENTAL DRIFT
    This causes the Earth to shift and in doing so create distorted features on and
    beneath its surface

    SUMMARY
    SUMMARY
    The 2017 theme for the Dynamic Planet Event will be
    Plate Tectonics
    Dynamic Planet themes will begin rotating annually
    instead of bi-annually

    Students should become conversant in plate tectonics


    including the location of plates, direction of movement,
    forces that generate movement and direction of
    movement

    Study volcanoes and earthquakes as phenomenon


    resulting from tectonic plate movement
