Very handy - the different colored sands stood out very well while demonstrating the movements.

Great for Elementary Too! - I used this with my fourth grade classes to model sedimentary rock layer formation as well as folding and faulting. Very effective tool!

Tectonics Model
Models Geology Models
This Tectonics Model demonstrates the principle of superposition and the concepts of transgression, regression, and compression.

  • Provides dramatic visualization of faults

  • Students calculate as they recreate tectonic compression
  • Instructions included
  • Teacher developed
  • Aligned to NGSS standards (MS/HS: ESS1, ESS2)

Add a new quantitative dimension to tectonics demonstrations with this innovative device. When using this box, pressure is applied with a screw mechanism that measures equal increments of force over distance. Students can simulate folding, faulting, and mountain building.
