Well, over on the other post it was said that…
…we didn’t quite end up there but you saw that they had…
Paleontology and Fossil Models
…in the list of examples and there was plenty of dinosaur bones (fossils technically) there. So to be fair, this one could have made it just as much as the steampunk seismograph…
…but that’s display pieces… not educational models. Drop the whole “key concepts of,” “students,” and “classroom” from the contest theme and I’d have no issues at all with any of the models they picked to win.
ps: I know who I’m quoting above and I did read the .pdf with the rules for the board game. Sticking to it though. It’s, as far as the them goes, not a model that teaches any kind of geological/geographical concepts. I do like the model; just confused by the judges decision.
