This teacher's guide and activity uses a paper model to teach students about sea-floor spreading and the evolution of oceanic crust. It includes background information for teachers about plate boundaries, ocean floor features, and Earth's magnetic field, as well as procedures, materials needed, and discussion questions. Educational levels: High school, Middle school
