AB: Over the past two years our group has fabricated over fourteen hands-on, in-class demonstrations (ICD's). These ICD's have been used in classes ranging from introductory geology, seismology, and oceanography to senior level geophysics. Almost all of these ICD's require the same basic design and fabrication sequence. Here, I will discuss this sequence in detail, providing various tips and techniques used during the fabrication process. In addition, I will have a number of our demonstrations on hand at my AGU presentation, including the oscillation-induced liquefaction demonstration, the magnetic globe, and the rebounding strike-slip fault.
