Then, review the information from the slideshow presentation with an interactive quiz.

Watch the video below to see the entire slideshow presentation.

What will students learn with this Geology PowerPoint and Google Slides?

• Earth’s major layers and their composition (crust, mantle, outer core, inner core).
• Tectonic plate movements and their effects (convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries).
• Modeling the rock cycle.
• The formation of metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks.
• Using a dichotomous key to identify rocks.
• The effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition.
• Earth’s internal energy causes the movement of tectonic plates.
• Using fossils to make inferences about past life on Earth.

What is included with this resource?

This resource includes 21 slides with information about Earth’s layers, plate tectonics, the rock cycle, fossils, weathering, erosion, and deposition.

A PDF worksheet for students to complete as they go through the presentation. The worksheet allows students to create their own definitions and write examples.

The last 34 slides of the presentation are an interactive, self-checking quiz. The quiz features 10 questions about the information taught in the slideshow presentation. The slides are coded so that students can self-check their answers. If they select the incorrect answer, they are able to go back and try again.

The quiz is also provided in PDF format if you would like students to take the quiz with paper and pencil.

The Geology Slideshow Presentation is provided in BOTH PowerPoint and Google Slides formats. Both versions are the same.

Can the slideshow presentations be edited?

In both the PowerPoint and Google Slides versions, most text can be edited if you want to add or change information. The images are locked and can NOT be changed.

What standards are covered?

This Geology PowerPoint and Google Slides is specifically aligned to the Virginia Science SOL 5.8 although it closely aligns with standards related to  Earth’s layers, plate tectonics, the rock cycle, fossils, weathering, erosion, and deposition.
