For our Waldorf mineralogy main lesson block, we continue with our lessons on land formation, plate tectonics and volcanic activity. While we have done the landforms for Pangea in the past, we are approaching this lesson a bit differently. We began by tracing the continents from an atlas. You could print off the continents on printer paper and cut them out alternatively. Next we labeled, colored with chalk, then relabeled the land masses. We used chalk to cover our double page layout in blue. We used a matte fixative to spray and set everything. Once dried, we added heavy duty thread with fabric double stick tape (but clear tape works fine as that what my daughter used instead), and fixed the continents to the string using tape, sticky side together. We could slide the land masses from pangea to the present day location. We included the mid-Atlantic ridge as well. We used our Live-Education Waldorf curriculum for grade 6, the book Puzzle Under the Sea, the story of Marie Tharp and an Atlas. We used our Sargent Art Chalk Pastels, Main Lesson Book, and matte Fixative. Other tools: scissors, tracing paper, tape and thread.
