Name: ________________________________________ Date: _________ Pd: ______ Earthquake Project Purpose: To develop an understanding of earthquakes and what causes them by studying the effects earthquakes have had on people and places in a specific region. Task: 1. From a given list, choose a specific earthquake from earth’s history to study. 2. Research your earthquake and complete a fact sheet. 3. Create a project of your choice that demonstrates your understanding about earthquakes by giving information about the specific earthquake. Use the information on your fact sheet to create your project. Find interesting pictures to enhance your project. 4. Be prepared to present your final project to the class. 5. Below are the possible project choices: 1. Pretend you are a scientist who just completed field work on a specific earthquake. Your job is to report back to your company with all of the details you learned about that earthquake while you were in the field. *You may present your information to the company (your class ) by creating a trifold poster, a power point, or a prezi. 2. Suppose you are a reporter who was on location and experienced an earthquake. Write an article about your experiences to be published in a scientific journal on earthquakes. If you have your own creative project that you would like to do, please see me to get approval. Here is the list of recommended websites that will help you to get information about earthquakes: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/world/10_largest_world.php http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/ http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-major-earthquake.htm http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/kids/ Important project dates: 3/20/14 – Decide on partner and project choice 3/21/14 – Research day – complete fact sheet (if not-complete over the weekend) Friday’s HW: Finish research/fact sheet; Bring in research and any supplies needed for project by Monday. 3/24/14 – 3/27/14 In class work days to complete your project and prepare your presentation 3/28/14 – Presentations Parent/Guardian Signature: ______________________________________________
