INTERACTIVE 3D SEISMIC WAVE SIMULATOR - What happens to the ground during an earthquake? Find out by creating your own earthquake
using this interactive 3D simulation. An actual earthquake will always create Primary, Secondary, and Surface waves, using this
3D simulation students can isolate waves to understand the different types of seismic activity. http://www.phschool.com/atschool/phsciexp/active_art/seismic_waves/

EXTRA CREDIT SECTION
ONLINE EXTRA CREDIT: VIRTUAL COURSEWARE - This is exactly what we did in class. When you get to the first page select ANY other
earthquake epicenter BESIDES San Francisco. Then, follow the prompts to the end (finding LAG time, Distance, Epicenter, Amplitude,
and Magnitude). Once done, you will get to create a certificate. Fill out the correct information (don't worry about emailing to
me) and PRINT the page. Get a PARENT SIGNATURE and you're all set.

ONLINE EXTRA CREDIT: VIRTUAL COURSEWARE - This page was not fully working when I last
checked. If it works for you, then I encourage you to do THIS one. When you get to the opening page,
just click on the "Epicenter and Magnitude" link under Main Activities. Once
that comes up, click on "Start Activity" and follow all the steps carefully. At the end,
take the quiz. USE THIS CODE AT THE END: 465494 and print off your certificate of proof.
