Using Stop Motion Animation to Show Earth’s Changes Over Time
by Kristina Jallo
By creating a stop motion animation, students will gain a deeper understanding of how landforms develop, are weathered, and erode. This is an engaging way to help infer the history of the current landscape. Students will create a model that may have real or created rocks, fossils, showing various locations and landforms to capture the changes of Earth over time.
