Pangaea Puzzle Pieces Pdf Use fossil and rock evidence to reconstruct how the earth may have looked approximately 290 million years ago when the continents were connected to form a supercontinent called pangea. Discuss with them how europe, africa, south america, and north america might fit together as puzzle pieces. discuss what might explain this fit. point out that millions of years ago the continents were joined together in one supercontinent called pangaea. Cut out the continents on the next page and attempt to piece them together based on fossil and rock evidence. although the continents are approximately the same shape as when they broke o of pangea 200 million years ago, they may not fit together perfectly—why do you think this is?. The class collectively should learn about continental drift, the reasons, the scientist who proposed it, the results and the evidence that supports the pangea idea.
