Modeling Crustal Folds — NASA JPL lessonLesson plan
In this activity students will use playdough to build 3D models of Earth’s crust to observe how it bends and folds as a result of tectonic stress. These formations, when found in nature, give geologists a picture of how Earth has formed and changed over geological time.
