Hot Spot & Plate Tectonics Exercise

This activity sheet is for a science exercise that aims to relate hot spots to plate tectonics. Students will conduct an experiment dropping water from a test tube onto a piece of paper to observe how hot spots form new geologic features at the Earth's crust over time, with the oldest features forming farther from the hot spot due to plate movement. Students are asked questions about the experiment to understand how the paper represents the crust and water represents a hot spot, and which simulated geologic features would be oldest, youngest, most active, and least active.
