Earthquake Lessons

1.  Student groups will create web pages detailing various aspects of quakes.  Possible topics of the pages are provided by reading the paragraph on the Earthquakes homepage.  As students complete pages, they are added to the web by hyperlinking to the text on the main page, setting property to open page in new window.  As always, maximum credit is given to students who provide links back to other science concepts/pages. 

2.  Students will compile data on the worst 10 quakes, and present results in chart format.

3.  Students will compare a map which has major earthquakes pinpointed with a map of tectonic plates.  Concept will be presented using the format of the scientific method.  Here is a page that displays the map comparison.

4.  Students will use mathematical concepts to determine the epicenter of this map.
