PLATE TECTONICS: EXAMINING
EVIDENCE FOR CONTINENTAL DRIFT
Kit #445S — Developed by SEPUP

Student groups use specially designed and annotated puzzle
pieces representing the Earth’s continents to investigate the idea
of continental drift . In Part One, an exploratory activity, students
attempt to fit the puzzle pieces into one large continent using
clues provided by the shape and the geologic evidence contained
on each piece . In Part Two students read a selection of statements
about continental drift and determine whether those statements
are evidence or opinion and whether or not the evidence
presented provides support for continental drift .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 6 groups of four students.

USING CHEMICAL REACTIONS
TO REDUCE WASTE
Kit #441S — Developed by SEPUP

Students learn that wastes from many industrial processes
contain toxic or valuable substances that can sometimes be
reclaimed for recycling or safe disposal . Working in groups,
students reclaim copper from a liquid waste containing
dissolved copper chloride. They first measure then compare the
effectiveness of three different metal replacement reactions at
removing the copper from the waste . Cost and safety is also
considered in deciding which metal would be the best to use for
removing the copper from the waste .
Accommodates 12 groups of two students.

CORRELATING SEDIMENTARY
STRATA

Kit #443S — Developed by SEPUP
®
Student groups use four unique Lab-Aids Simulated Drill Cores,
each representing a fictitious series of rock layers from a different
location . They then use the evidence from each drill core to create
a stratigraphic column - diagram of the rock layers and the fossils
they contain - for each locality . Based on the fossils contained within
the layers, students are asked to determine how the layers in each
locality correlate to the layers from the other localities . They are then
challenged to use this fossil evidence to construct a timeline showing
the relative time spans of each species represented by the fossils .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 12 groups of two students.
