Product Details

Easily visualize how geological faults form using this hands-on activity model kit! Each group of students will create their own multicolored and multilayered landform model. Normal, reverse and strike-slip faults will be simulated and sketched, and the models can then be further inspected to explore the properties of different kinds of faults. Great learning activity provides a unique and inexpensive way for students to investigate the movements of each type of fault. Kit contains detailed procedures and student handouts and valuable Teacher Notes.

Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

Performance Expectations

HS-LS2-2: Use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.
HS-LS2-7: Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.
HS-LS4-6: Create or revise a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity.
MS-LS1-5: Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.
MS-LS2-4: Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations.
