Student Supplied Camera Scissors Lab Kit Supplied Modeling clay Transparency film Exercise Modeling Plate Tectonics - In this exercise, you will construct a model of tectonic plates and then observe surface deformations caused by plate movements. Procedure Gather the modeling clay, transparency paper, scissors, and a digital camera or smartphone. Using the scissors, cut the transparency paper in half. Overlap the two pieces of transparency paper by 2 inches and place on a smooth, flat surface. Remove the modeling clay from the container and roll into a ball. Place the ball of clay in the center of the transparency sheet and press it flat until it is 1/4 inch thick. Press the clay firmly, ensuring that it fully adheres to the transparency paper. See Figure 11.

Exercise Modeling Plate Tectonics
-
In this exercise, you will construct a model of tectonic plates and then
observe surface deformations caused by plate movements.
Procedure
Gather the modeling clay, transparency paper, scissors, and a digital
camera or smartphone.
Using the scissors, cut the transparency paper in half.
Overlap the two pieces of transparency paper by 2 inches and place
on a smooth, flat surface.
Remove the modeling clay from the container and roll into a ball.
Place the ball of clay in the center of the transparency sheet and
press it flat until it is 1/4 inch thick. Press the clay firmly, ensuring that
it fully adheres to the transparency paper. See Figure 11.
