Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.
Earthquakes release huge amounts of energy and cause tremendous amounts of destruction in many parts of the world.. First, students will make subsurface model and model of a city using the colorful parts. They’ll then use their subsurface model to look at the features of an earthquake, epicenter, focus (hypocenter) and the P and S seismic waves. Finally, they’ll employ their model of a city to look at the destructive effects of the surface L and R waves.
The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
