I am putting together a crossword puzzle to help with vocabulary ( most of my students are ESL as well as these are new terms for most of my other students).. I also had this idea of introducing p-waves by using the old spirograph.. remember that toy as a kid? Also I like the use of before and after drawings of students visualization of what THEY think the interior of the earth is.. My lesson will be short activites within a 1 hr 20 minute talk on Deep Earth. I think I am still in the brainstorm/idea mode here.. ANy thoughts or suggestions, Please... ]]> Barbara Graham 1266861780 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/deepearth10/discussions/group_4_intro_g.html#post7011 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/deepearth10/discussions/group_4_intro_g.html#post7012 Vince Cronin 1266864720 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/deepearth10/discussions/group_4_intro_g.html#post7012
