After a brief discussion on earthquakes, make a makeshift seismograph to record the shaking of the table that it sits upon. While the background information will be useful to you as a teacher, the seismograph does not seem like it would be very effective in recording table movement. You would need to have one person shake the table, while another moves the paper in order to get a half-decent representation of a seismograph data.
