Model - Tectonic Plate

This tactile model of tectonic plates demonstrates how Earth's lithosphere is divided into continental and oceanic plates.

Designed to illustrate the theory of plate tectonics, this resource helps students visualise large-scale geological processes such as plate boundaries, movement, and interactions. Its durable construction ensures it can be used for interactive learning and display purposes over time. A perfect teaching tool for Earth and environmental science classes, this model brings geological theory into a hands-on learning experience.

Why this product is beneficial for educational use:

• Supports understanding of fundamental Earth science concepts.
• Encourages hands-on engagement with complex geological processes.
• Helps students differentiate between continental and oceanic lithosphere.
• Makes abstract tectonic concepts concrete and visually accessible.

Classroom ideas for incorporating this product:

• Use during geology lessons to explain how tectonic plates interact.
• Demonstrate plate boundaries such as convergent, divergent, and transform faults.
• Support classroom discussions on natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
• Enable group work where students identify and label different plates.

Product specifications:

• Measurements: 50 x 40 x 20 cm.
• Age suitability: Appropriate for upper primary to tertiary education.
