Puzzles and Drift

During our Science class last week, we were given pieces of paper that were cut from a large piece. We were supposed to fit them together and make a one whole sheet of paper. The second day, we had to make it out of newspapers.

We learned in class so far that Alfred Wegener (I think that's how its spelt and pronounced vegener) had a theory about continental drift which is the moving of continents. Earth is actually a huge puzzle and the tectonic plates are the puzzle pieces. The tectonic plates move so the continents that are part of the huge tectonic plates also moves.

Basically I explained how the paper puzzle assignment was related to tectonic plates in the second paragraph.
