Kids can't understand this one. The scale is so wonky and confusing. Instead of being a fun, hands on activity, it was a hands up activity, where kids could not understand it even with background support and a lesson before on the types of waves and the interior of the earth. I am a 27 year veteran Earth Science teacher, This is no good.
