Our latest ELI, published today, is
'The DIY dip and strike model'. This activity uses a model to measure dip, dip direction, strike and apparent dip. It includes a clinometer that your pupils can make for themselves. Pupils are asked to make a model that they can then keep, reminding them how dip and strike are measured and how apparent dips differ from true
dip.
This activity is one of the progression and spiralling of spatial thinking skills shown by the Earthlearningidea
‘Geological mapwork from scratch’ exercises and the
‘Geological mapwork from models’ exercises.
All of these can be found on our
website in the
'Investigating the Earth' category.
