We have developed a concept-sorting activity using rock samples and laminated cards to help students understand the stages of the formation of the Appalachian Mountains.
Below are all the materials needed to recreate this activity. If you are missing some of the rock samples or want to borrow the full kit, please contact the ASU GES Department at 828-262-3049 or email Marta Toran (toranml@appstate.edu).
If you have any questions about any of these materials or need the editable files, please don't hesitate to contact us.
