Small groups of students use unique LAB-AIDS®/SEPUP materials to investigate convection currents in water. They use their experiences to develop an operational understanding of the relationship between water temperature and its movement. This knowledge is then applied to geology as students analyze data about the earth’s layers and convection currents in the lithosphere. The hands-on experience with convection in water coupled with the knowledge of earth's interior is combined to explain the motion of the earth's tectonic plates.
