Using Jelly Babies(TM) cut at the dip angle to highlight structures on geological maps

The innovative ELI today is 'The sliced Jelly Babies TM approach to understanding 3D geological maps; using Jelly Babies TM cut at the dip angle to highlight structures on geological maps'.

This ELI shows the dip of fold limbs on a geological map using sliced jelly sweets to show bedding plane dips.

Methods like this one and the Earthlearningidea series ‘Mapwork from models’ can help pupils to develop spatial skills.
