Images and Diagrams Below are thumbnails of images appropriate
for activities in various units in geoscience courses. Project a
photo or diagram onto a screen and ask students in general what
they see rather than telling them immediately what to look for.
After the students have discussed and reported their
observations, you can then introduce terminology and discuss (if
the students haven't already worked it out) how the photo
relates to the processes being studied in the class. Read a more
detailed example here. Images for Interactive Lectures Fault,
