Demonstration Kit
Clearly demonstrate the powerful forces
of tectonic processes with this easy-to- use, hands-on model. Brightly colored sand is provided to simulate the formation of folds, faults, erosion and rift valleys. Comprehensive student worksheets and teacher’s guide provide detailed discussion and analysis of continental drift, conver- gence, divergence, the Earth’s changing surface and other related concepts. Model size: 13" L x 71⁄2" W x 4" H.

Students analyze fossil similarities among the continents using the provided fossil catalog. Using colored patterns, students compare today’s continental arrangement with their ideas of how the continents were shaped and arranged 100, 200 and 300 million years ago. Students analyze the connections among the continents and the theory of continental drift and evolution. Kit comes with eight colored posters (four sets of five different continents) and a lab activity book, containing student handouts and teacher materials. One kit will serve all classes.
AP5105 | $39.30
Many of the world’s most powerful earthquakes are generated at subduction zones where tectonic plates converge. Visually introduce
the theory behind these “megaquakes” by simulating the forces involved with subducting plates. Demonstrate the principles of faulting, static versus dynamic friction and elastic energy. Students observe and record the movement of the simulated plate and rocks along the fault. Tension builds as the plate moves slowly and steadily along with little or no rock movement— when will the next big quake occur? Includes instructions with sample data, background infor- mation and student worksheet.

Smithsonian Volcano Activity Model
Demonstrate volcanic activity using this realistic erupting volcano. Model can be set up in less than 15 minutes and uses no heat or flame. Eruption is controlled by hand pressure using a bottle-and-tube delivery system. Teacher and student guides contain reference information. Also includes actual volcanic rocks. 12" diameter, 4" high.

Investigating Plate Tectonics Chart
This chart features securely mounted specimens of rocks and minerals, allowing students to see and trace the action of the rock cycle. Contains illustrations and explanation of phenomena; mounted in a wooden frame. 231⁄2" x 151⁄2". AP5199 | $67.40
