Students engaged in egg model activity

 
As part of my assignment this past week, I was asked to take photos of my students and film them while taking part in the use of a model activity.  Students used a hard-boiled egg in order to model the three types of plate boundaries and what forms at the boundaries.  Although the model was not perfect, the students enjoyed the change of pace in the classroom, and felt the tectonic plates moving in their hands.  They had fun and learned at the same time.

  1. Janice - what a great idea! Did it easily work out with the egg shells? That is literally a sensitive material to work with!
