In response to the emphasis on practical abilities in the "Compulsory Education Geography Curriculum Standard Daily Revision(2022 Edition, 2025 Revision)", this paper designs a set of simulation experiment plans suitable for junior high school geography teaching, focusing on the theme of “plate movement”. Through three progressive simulation experiments (including plate fl oating experiments, plate collision and separation experiments, and plate interior stability experiments), students are helped to intuitively understand the basic concepts of plate tectonic theory, the forms of plate movement, and their impact on surface features, such as mountain formation and the distribution of volcanic and seismic zones. The experimental design emphasizes hands-on operation, observation and recording, as well as application and transfer of knowledge. It also incorporates a performance-based evaluation system to assess student performance across fi ve dimensions: learning through application, learning by doing, learning through creativity, collaborative performance, and outcome achievement. These experiments utilize simple equipment, are easy to operate, align with the requirements of the curriculum standards, and eff ectively enhance students' geographical practical ability and scientifi c literacy.
