This day-long workshop (9am-5pm), hosted by the Southern California Earthquake Center, will present
educators with Earth science and earthquake materials and share activities designed for classroom use. The workshop gives educators an opportunity to
exchange ideas and share enthusiasm for Earth science education.
All teachers are welcome to attend this workshop, however, in alignment with the California State
Science Standards, the activities are designed for the middle school teacher. Most activities are
adaptable for higher or lower grades.
| The Earthquake Education Workshop will feature:
- Teaching Materials (i.e., maps, CD-ROMs, books) - valued at $100,
provided by the Incorporated Institutions for Seismology (IRIS)
Consortium
- Introduction to earthquake content
- Addressing the California Science Standards
- Hands on activities to include:
- Slinky Waves
- Shake Table Contest
- Brick and Sandpaper Stick-Slip Fault Model
- Dynamic Plate Puzzle
- Southern California Earthquake Center Annual meeting
- The teacher workshop is immediately preceding the annual meeting of the
Southern California Earthquake Center. This is a meeting where scientists and engineers
come together to share and discuss their research. We would like to
invite you to come to the meeting. Please email us if you plan to attend so we can have an accurate
count of how many will be attending.
You can find more information about
the meeting at: http://www.scec.org/meetings/2004am/ Unless you are
planning to attend the entire meeting you DO NOT need to register for the
meeting. Due to lack of response and some additional factors, we regret that
the happy hour has been cancelled.
