Earthquakes

Learners inspect the causes and effects of earthquakes and examine how seismic waves travel. For this earthquake lesson, students determine where earthquakes happen and why, before determining how to build an earthquake resistant...

Students explore the make-up of the earth and the changes it undergoes in an earthquake. In this earth science lesson, students have two activities as part of a unit. First, to use a Styrofoam ball to model the earth's structure, and...

After challenging themselves to correctly choose the form of erosion and length of time required for a given landform to develop, earth science class members model mechanical and chemical weathering with various lab demonstrations over...

Students explore the layers of the Earth and the dynamic changes that they cause on Earth's surface. Volcanoes and earthquakes become the focus of the lesson as the Oregon State quarter and its Crater Lake images are linked to the topic.

Explore Earth and her amazing layers with this lesson on planetary change. Students will research the ways in which Earth's layers cause change. They will complete a "Tectonic Puzzle" and use a worksheet to answer questions about Earth's...

Students show how earthquakes affect sea waves. In this tidal waves lesson plan students use a rubber mallet on a table to create waves in a box on top of the table. They experiment with striking the mallet in different locations on the...

Students make an earthquake simulator and test their structure to see if it lasts through the earthquake. In this earthquake lesson plan, students make a structure and test and record the results from an earthquake simulator made out of...

Students investigate the earth's structural layers by participating in hands-on activities. They identify the earth's structure and investigate earthquakes.

Learners study that the human body is made up of different systems whose functions are related. They draw and label their traced body outlines which include at least five body systems.
