explains
what
Darwin

found,
and
how
other
scientists
helped
him
develop
his
theory
of
evolution.
It
discusses
the
many
mistakes
Darwin
made
in
his
observations
and
methods
of
investigation,
as

This activity has students read and answer questions based upon the article 'The plate tectonic story: a scientific jigsaw.' The article starts with the continental drift theory of Alfred Wegener and adds the evidence from the seafloor to arrive at plate tectonics. It concludes with remarks about mantle dynamics and the future ability to predict earthquakes.
