Visit the usgs earthquake hazards program to find out about global patterns of earthquake incidents (usgs, 2006). can mapping earthquakes help identify fault lines? they also have a list of science fair project ideas. another great resource for earthquake oriented science fair projects is by jeffery barker (barker, 1994).
Earthquakes Activities Earthquake Project Earth Science Lessons Earthquake experiments can be a great way for kids to learn about the science behind natural disasters and the importance of preparedness. through hands on activities, kids can gain a deeper understanding of seismic waves, geological features, and engineering solutions that can help reduce the impact of earthquakes on communities. Earthquake experiment: supplies needed: directions: first, have the students construct a tower on the cookie sheet using the wooden blocks. have two of the kids sit on either side of the cookie sheet and shake it as if there were an earthquake. not surprisingly, when we did this, the tower crumbled with very little shaking and the blocks fell. Earthquake experiment instructions. make jelly and a brownie or other foundation layer to test in a tray or on a plate. if you don’t want to use food items, play dough, clay etc would all work well too. build a tower using the cocktail sticks and jelly sweets. ours looked like this. Inquiry labs. the earthquakes inquiry lab is a hands on activity that is differentiated for advanced, on level, and modified middle school students. students will calculate lag time data to determine the epicenter of different earthquakes. they will also use rocks and water to learn about waves and triangulation.
