PLATE TECTONICS
Modeling Faults—
Student Activity Kit
In this hands-on activity kit, students create multicolored and multilayered landform models that simulate normal, reverse and strike-slip faults to explore the properties of types of faults. A unique and inexpensive way for students to investigate the move- ments of each type of fault. Includes detailed procedures, student handouts and Teacher Notes. Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

Find the Epicenter of an
Tectonics Model—
Earthquake—Student Activity Kit
Demonstration Kit
An earthquake has occurred somewhere in the United States. Your students can locate the earthquake’s epicenter, just like “real- world” seismologists. Students use the travel time of seismic waves and triangulation to pinpoint the epicenter. Kit includes enough materials for 30 students working in groups of three.

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.

Smithsonian Volcano Activity Model
Many of the world’s most powerful earth- quakes 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 information and student worksheet.

Bring a volcano into your classroom! Safely and easily demonstrate the principles of volcano 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 unique bottle-and-tube delivery system. Fully illustrated teacher and student guides contain reference information on volcanoes. Also includes actual volcanic rocks with interesting facts. 12" diameter, 4" high. AP6681 | $25.40
