And the Slate Shale Be Cleaved.
Schamp, Homer
Science and Children, v25 n5 p34-35 Feb 1988
Uses a demonstration done by John Tyndall in 1856 to show that geological processes can produce striking changes, such as slate formation, by slow and incremental means. Explains how Tyndall's demonstration can be replicated in the classroom using paraffin or beeswax to produce the layering change similar to slate. (CW)
