Earthquakes: A Teacher's Package for K-6.
National Science Teachers Association/Federal Emergency Management Agency (NSTA/FEMA) Earthquake Curriculum. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1993.
Recommended grade level:
K-6. Earthquakes: A Teacher's Package for K-6 offers a cross-curricular approach to the study of these events. Copiously illustrated, this teacher's manual contains dozens of activities under 6 unit headings: (1) "Defining an Earthquake," (2) "Why and Where Earthquakes Occur," (3) "Physical Results of Earthquakes," (4) "Measuring Earthquakes," (5) "Recognizing an Earthquake," and (6) "Earthquake Safety and Survival." The units are intended to be used in order. Activities include using a hard-boiled egg to simulate the layers of the earth, constructing models of 3 types of faults, simulating an earthquake using wooden sticks and coffee grounds, and practicing proper reactions to an earthquake.
Each of the first 5 units in Earthquakes includes background information, lessons, and activities for each of 3 grade levels: K-2, 3-4, and 5-6, as well as master pages that may be reproduced for transparencies, handouts, and worksheets.
Prices:
