Edible Plate Tectonics each student should have 1 double-stuff Oreo cookie

TECTONICS: From the Greek “tecton” – builder – architect The study of large features on Earth’s surface and the processes that formed them.

PLATE TECTONICS: Large features… – continents – ocean basins – mountain ranges and processes… – earthquakes – volcanic eruptions due to movement of plates of Earth’s outer shell.

Oreo Psycho-Personality Test Manner in which people eat Oreo cookies provides great insight into their personalities. 1. The whole thing at once. 2. One bite at a time. 3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite afterwards. 4. In little feverous nibbles. 5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee …..) 6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie. 7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie. 8. Just the cookie, not the inside. 9. I just like to lick them, not eat them. 10. I don’t have a favorite way because I don’t like Oreos.

6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie. You have a highly curious nature. You take pleasure in breaking things apart to find out how they work, though not always able to put them back together, so you destroy all the evidence of your activities. You deny your involvement when things go wrong. You are a compulsive liar and exhibit deviant, if not criminal, behavior.
