Continuing our theme of folding structures, today’s ELI is ‘Swiss roll surgery; investigating geological structures and their outcrops using sponge rolls’.

This activity can be used in any science or geography lesson when folded and faulted rocks are discussed. By adapting the terminology, it can be used with any age group when explanations of folded and faulted rocks are required.

Many related activities can be found in our Earth energy / processes category.
