Seismic Sleuths: Earthquakes – A Teacher's Package for Grades 7-12
This package provides middle and high school teachers with information about the causes and
effects of earthquakes. Activity sheets for students and background materials for teachers are
provided in each of the volume's six units. The units assess students' knowledge about earthquakes
and provide information about preparedness and emergency management; discuss the causes
of earthquakes, including crustal stresses and the earth's structure, and their effects; present
information on seismic waves and the development of seismology and instruments used to
measure an earthquake's magnitude; explain the effects of earthquakes on buildings and
earthquake resistant design techniques; and discuss earthquake preparedness and the reactions
of different populations to historical earthquakes. The last unit provides a variety of summary
and assessment activities and an extensive list of additional resources.
