About This Product
With the model on a stable bench and the recording paper or writing surface in place, the marker or recording arm is checked for free movement. A gentle vibration is then created by moving the base or demonstration platform as instructed, and students watch the trace that forms. Comparing light and strong vibrations shows how the recorded pattern changes, supporting geography, geology and disaster awareness lessons.
