Student groups adopt tectonic plates to understand their unique characteristics, including the plate s location and the direction and speed of its movement.
Students build accurate plate models that include continents and sea floors.
They position their adopted plate models on a class globe and present information leading to an understanding of plate boundaries and their seismic interactions. Each Product Spotlight Plate Tectonics Globe Kit Help students understand the locations of seismic events by showing them the positions of tectonic plates and the boundaries between them. You and your students build accurate plate models, including continents and sea floors, then position them on a class globe. Kit comes with everything you need to make one class globe, including plate molds, plate modeling material, globe, and instructions. Copyright 2000 Carolina Biological Supply Company.
