Iris: Earthquake Machine 2 Developing Arguments About Earthquake Occurrence

Nearly all students have seen pregnant women and may have questions about human development. Intended for secondary students with mild to moderate mental disabilities, this lesson defines the process of pregnancy  in a...

There are few natural phenomena as startling as an earthquake, and depending on the building you're in, these experiences can be downright terrifying. Follow along as this video explores the factors that determine how a building...

In this activity, students work collaboratively in small groups to investigate the earthquake cycle using a mechanical model.

A live, real-time data global map of all current earthquake activity.

Animation explores how an earthquake early warning system works and shows how ground motion, measured by GPS, can enhance earthquake early warning. [6:57]

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...
