Modeling Faults—
Pangaea—Student Laboratory Kit
Students explore the fascinating theory of Pangaea, the supercontinent, and the principles of plate tectonics using this durable, hands-on activity model. Students assemble the provided Pangaea continental plates on the durable ocean “floor.” They simulate how geological processes led to the separation of the plates over time and observe how the movements led to the modern placement of the continents. Interactive nature of arranging and rearranging the model allows students to visualize how the powerful forces of plate tectonics continue to shape the earth. Kit includes a background section, student worksheets and materials for 30 studentsworkinginpairs.

Earthquake—Student Activity Kit
Student Activity Kit
Students locate the earthquake’s epicenter, just like “real-world” seismologists using seismograph data to calculate the difference in travel time between primary and second- ary seismic waves. They determine the distance from the epicenter to various seis- mograph stations using a special time delay scale and graph. With the unique safety drawing compasses included, students pinpoint the epicenter on a United States map by triangulation. Kit includes instruc- tions with student handouts, teacher notes, overhead transparencies and materials for 30studentsworkingingroupsofthree. AP7266 | $48.50
Easily visualize how geological faults form using this hands-on activity model kit! Each group of students will create their own multi- colored and multilayered landform model. Normal, reverse and strike-slip faults will be simulated and sketched, and the models
can then be further inspected to explore the properties of different kinds of faults. Great learning activity provides a unique and inex- pensive way for students to investigate the movements of each type of fault. Kit contains detailed procedures and student handouts and teacher notes.

Strike-Slip Fault—
Student Activity Kit
Easy-to-use fault models will graphically depict how opposing geologic forces can cause rock to break and move horizontally, forming strike-slip faults. Realistic simula- tion will introduce students to strike-slip fault types, shearing and how changing plate boundaries can cause earthquakes. Although the activity will only take minutes to perform, students will see how landforms have shifted over millions of years! Includes five complete fault models, sand, tamper plates, student instructions with experiments and teacher notes.

FLINN SCIENTIFIC I PLATE TECTONICS
Sea Floor Spreading—Student Laboratory Kit
Students use the detailed model to observe the forces that push the tectonic plates apart and cause continental drifting. They recreate the processes that led to the expansion of the ocean over the past 150 million years by taking visual “snapshots” of the Earth as it evolved. Includes background information, procedures, student worksheets, teacher notes and materials for 30 students working in pairs.
