Flipped Lessons

the idea of Pangaea and some of the evidence behind it:

Hawaiian Islands formed by stationary hot spot under Pacific plate

by Michael Sammartano A quick introduction to igenous rocks. You can Download the flowchart from his page.

S-wave shadow and P-wave detection patterns give us information about the core

Weathering concepts are visualized for both physical and chemical weathering processes. Freeze-thaw cycles and water action are discussed using kitchen experiments, as well as wind abrasion. The chemical disintegration and dissolution of minerals and rocks is demonstrated and discussed.

In this episode we go to Central Park and take a look at the chemical weathering of Cleopatra’s Needle. Then we go back to lab and I show you how to model chemical weathering with your students.
