5/12 - What is an Earthquake?
Earthquake 101 - nationalgeographic.com
5/13 - What happen in Nepal yesterday? How big was it? How much damage did it cause? Why did it happen?
5/14 - What patterns do you see when earthquakes are plotted over a long period of time?
SeismicEruptionSetup.exe - binghamton.edu
5/15 - Make a table showing how the three kinds of stress, Tectonic Plate Boundaries and Faults are related.
5/18 - Make a Venn diagram comparing the Focus, Fault, and Epicenter. Why is it unlikely that an earthquake's epicenter would fall on a fault line?
5/19 - What can you do to prepare for an earthquake at home? What would you do if an Earthquake happened while you were in class?
5/20 - List 5 examples of waves. Take down 10 examples from class discussion and mark them as to transverse, longitudinal, and combination types.
5/21 - Read "Surviving a Tsunami" in ScienceWorld, pages 12-15
