I left the classroom in 2010, but every year it seems I get at least one request for more information about an activity that I did back then. Full disclosure, I got this activity from a colleauge, Dave Cruz, who taught 7th grade with me at Snoqualmie Middle School. Isn't that what we do as teachers, take the best of what we see from others ? Anyway, I think what happens is that teachers are searching for activities related to the Geology of Washington and they come across this video that I put on YouTube in 2009:

Mr. T explains how to cut and tape colored paper to mimic the formation of Washington.

It seems that teachers have a desire to try this activity but don't have all of the materials. Well, in an effort to make these materials more available, here they are!
