Plate tectonics resource including plate cutouts, activities, etc

lots of links to virtual field trips, plate tectonics, minerals, igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, earthquakes, volcanoes, deformation, geologic time, paleontology, groundwater, streams, glaciers, 

I think a key element to the credibility of this set of resources is that they were curated/produced by the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) at Carleton College and its partners with funding from the National Science Foundation.

A visualization from NOAA that shows what the earth would look like if all water drained out.  Good to show so students can see the mid-ocean ridges, ring of fire boundary, etc.

A great lesson for kids to dig in and look at patterns to figure out what is going on at plate boundaries around the world. It is a jigsaw type activity.
