Today's new ELI is another in our 'Picturing' series - 'Picturing Landforms - 3: Visualise and draw landforms from a verbal description'.
This is another ELI that enhances pupils’ skills of description and interpretation using photographs of landforms.
Related activities can be found in our varied 'Picturing' series, the table for which can be found on the last page of this activity.
The new ELI today is Modelling remote sensing geophysics
Using a mock gravimeter and magnetometer set up in the classroom
Many articles relating to geophysics can be found on the ELI website.
The new ELI today is 'Chocolate Plates; simulating the properties of a lithospheric plate'.
This ELI is a simulation of the mechanical properties of a lithospheric plate using chocolate bars - popular with students for obvious reasons!
Many activities related to Plate tectonics can be found on the ELI website.
Today we have the ELI+ 'Electrical ground probing; measuring the electrical resistance of the ground to find buried objects'.
This ELI is a laboratory demonstration of the principle of ‘remote sensing’, using the electrical properties of Earth materials.
