Description
Discuss plate tectonics theory in the time it takes to use a cookie cutter--not millions of years--with this set, which includes 1 cutter and 1 placemat. Students can easily press the cutter into flattened modeling clay, remove the non-Pangaea segments, and then layer with scientific evidence such as mountain ranges, fossil record data, or glacial deposits. Combine with the placemat, which doubles as a work space, to explore how the world has changed from the Jurassic Period to the present day, and to learn about Alfred Wegener, Henry Hess, and boundary types. Extend the lesson to study sea floor changes, volcanoes, rock formations, and earthquakes. Includes instructions featuring QR code links to extra resources; modeling clay and QR code reader are needed but not included. Additional placemats may be ordered separately (item GEO482).
