1. The document provides instructions for a student activity on earthquakes. It explains that students will use online resources to learn about earthquakes, perform an earthquake simulation experiment, and respond to analysis questions. 2. Students are directed to four online resources to enhance their understanding of earthquakes before performing a simulation experiment and answering assessment questions. 3. The activity involves students performing an earthquake simulation experiment, recording data on a provided chart, and drawing a conclusion.

1. The Question Earthquakes are the sudden release of the energy stress stored in the Earths crust. This sudden motion results in seismic waves result in ground motion. Thousands of earthquakes occur each year and cause great damage and devastation to communities world-wide. 1 2 3 6 5 4 Next What is the relationship between the magnitude and the energy released by an earthquake? www.clipart.com Last update: May 2011 Created by Keishauna Banks BCPS Research Module or Slam Dunk Model, Copyright 2005, Baltimore County Public Schools, MD, all rights reserved.

6. Teacher Support Materials Teacher Notes: Objective: Students will be able to collect and analyze data in order to explain the relationship between amplitude and energy. Differentiation: Direct students who need conceptual analysis to the third website, Earthquakes Overview. This resource is useful because it divides information using text features which aid in ease in comprehension from basic to advanced level of reading. In the reaction portion of the earthquake simulation, you can do a think-pair share activity. The extension activities infuse practical experiences and applications of new learning. Further, the simulations could be reduced to three simulations with the more highly able students performing 6. Time Management Strategies: It is suggested that this activity be completed over the course of two class periods. This activity could also be conducted in groups of two students. Technology Infusion: The students will need to be introduced to drop-down menus and entering the text into the enabled areas. Students should also be familiar with opening hyperlinks in both the documents and in the Power point presentation. The students should also be familiar with tabs (sheets in excel), entering text in boxes, clicking into boxes. Students need to be introduced to use of the flip cam. AVID Strategy: The following AVID strategies are supported in this lesson: inquiry based learning, quick write (reaction and analysis) and use of Costas and Bloom questioning. Learning Styles: Field Dependent, Field independent, Visual and Reflective Learners, Global Understanding Maryland State Curriculum Goal: Standard 2.0 Earth/Space Science: Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the chemical and physical interactions (i.e., natural forces and cycles, transfer of energy) of the environment, Earth, and the universe that occur over time. Topic A: Materials and Processes That Shape A Planet Indicator 1: Identify and describe that some changes in Earth's surface occur rapidly while other changes occur very slowly. Indicator 2 Recognize and explain how major geologic events are a result of the movement of Earth's crustal plates. Objectives b. Recognize and explain that major geologic events (earthquakes, volcanic activity, sea floor spreading) occur along crustal plate boundaries.
