A large black-line diagram of a seismometer fills this page. It is not a worksheet, but rather an explanation of how a seismometer works. You could make a transparency of it or display it via a video screen when teaching about...

In this earthquake activity learning exercise, students examine 10 earthquake-related terms and then put those terms into alphabetical order.

The fastest growing volcano in recorded history grew more than 150 meters in less than a week and to more than 424 meters in less than a decade. How do we safely monitor active volcanoes? Young scientists design an...

In this seismic waves worksheet, students read and study the science of earthquakes using online resources to complete 8 short answer questions.

Let's talk about earthquakes .... Using the Internet, pupils research what causes earthquakes, how scientists measure them, their locations, and their effects. The resource is not only informative, but it also builds crucial...

In this earthquake worksheet learners complete an interactive activity then answer a series of short answer questions on different earthquakes and their magnitude, and epicenter. 

Pairs use an online simulation to determine the epicenter and magnitude of an earthquake. Using real data about the earthquake's maximum S wave amplitudes, they then determine the magnitude. The resource provides a great career...

There are patterns in nearly everything — even earthquakes. Pairs research current earthquakes to see if there are any patterns. They determine the mean, median, and mode of the earthquake data, along with the maximum and...

In this earth science worksheet, students find the vocabulary words that are part of a review and the answers are found by clicking the link at the bottom of the page.

In this vocabulary learning exercise, students read an informational paragraph about Antarctica. Students then fill in the 17 blanks with words from the word bank.

In this earthquake activity, learners read and study earthquake maps and statistics. They complete 8 short answer questions that follow.

In this Pacific Ocean worksheet, learners read 2 pages about the Pacific Ocean and answer true and false questions. Students answer 10 questions.
