Thanks Eric. I'll take a look at it. I do specifically remember seeing pictures of student using pieces of foam though. So if anyone runs across this, please add.
Thanks again,
Gary
Check with NSTA with The Science Teacher for an article called Pangea Redux. I cannot remember the exact citation, but it was written by Jack Renton and Deb Hemler. I think they used construction paper, but I've used craft foam for this, as well.
Regards,
Eric Pyle

Has anyone seen a plate tectonics learning activity in which two students each hold a piece of foam and simulate plate boundaries? I can't remember if I saw this on the internet or at AGU last fall.
Thanks,
Gary
