Interactive Science | Plate Tectonics- Electronic Scavenger Hunt
| When was the last time your students actually had fun digging through their text book? Has it ever happened? If not, then you could definitely use this activity. In it they will go through a series of 10 questions about plate tectonics
on computer. Questions are followed by 4 answer choices, each with a code next to it. The code next to the correct answer is the password that will unlock and open the next question. Throw in a little surprise at the end, and you’ve got a fun day of learning.

Choosing The Best
With all the demonstrations available, you might be wondering why we selected the ones we did. In most cases the choice was hard to make, but we use several criteria to guide that decision:
- The demo obviously needs to illustrate the topic
- It has to work every single time it’s tried
- But it shouldn’t over-excite students
- Or be complicated for you to explain or for students to do
- And it must be tantalizing enough to grab and hold every students’ attention
