Lesson 1: Teacher Lecture
In Lesson 1, students will follow along a lecture presenting how the movement of tectonic plates is responsible for earthquakes. Students are responsible for completing a short assignment as they view the online lecture. |
Lesson 2: Webercise
In Lesson 2, students will complete a guided exercise as they explore the science behind earthquakes through websites, videos, and interactives. This exercise guides students through earthquake basics such as identifying specific parts of a rupture, different seismic waves, how earthquakes are measured, and how they are located. |
Lesson 3: Graphic Organizer
In Lesson 3, students are to individually create and design their own graphic organizer classifying the main types of seismic waves. Energy released from earthquakes are propagated through the Earth in seismic waves. It is up to the student to provide a detailed description of each in an clear and organized manner. |
