Compress Geologic Time!
Become geological time travelers with this hands-on, interactive learning tool. The Tectonics Model Set is specifically designed to help students visualize and understand fundamental geological processes, including:
- Plate boundaries: Explore subduction, divergence, and transform fault movements.
- Fault dynamics: Demonstrate how tectonic forces lead to earthquakes and volcanic activity.
- Earth’s structure: Understand the layers of the Earth and the driving forces behind its continuous transformation.
Perfect for Earth science classrooms, this 3D model set provides a tactile way to engage students, enhance critical thinking, and connect relatable experiences such as living in an area of geological activity to the large-scale forces at play.
Includes teacher guides and lesson plans to support effective instruction
