Playdough tectonic plates 

In year 9 one of the topics we are learning about is Tectonic Plates. A group activity we were given was to create a model using play dough explaining either a Divergent, Convergent or Transform boundary, each group got a different boundary and had to do their best with showing what it was and how it worked and then explaining it to the rest of the class. My group found that this activity helped with better understanding how tectonic plates worked and that it was an enjoyable task overall.
