Access the Large View Map Generator or the Small View Map Generator to enter the station & event information and generate your map Triangulating Earthquake Locations OnlineĮnter user-defined data up to 4 station locations, the user determined distance from the station to the epicenter and the location (epicenter) of a selected event, and display this information on a map. Students will demonstrate to the class how their seismographs record motion. In small groups of 3-4 students, students are asked to design and construct a seismograph using common household and craft materials provided. Students will gain a greater appreciation of how a seismograph works, and a better understanding of recordings of ground motion that they see on seismograms. IRIS: Como Trabaja un Sismógrafo? Build your own Seismograph Please use the form below if you have something to share.Ĭreating Awareness- What we hope every teacher is doing This page will continue to grow as our network teachers work together and share effective techniques and unique lessons.
The curriculum and resources that we present below focus on materials to teach both with and without a seismometer. While nothing captures students attention quite like watching earthquake waves arrive from a distant earthquake during class, with recent advances in instrumentation and web tools, it is possible to enrich the classroom experience with a nearby seismic station. The seismographs in schools program was built on the premise that an educational seismometer in the classroom promotes awareness of earthquake activity around the world and provides an opportunity to teach with real-time data and real-world examples. Our more general instructional resources can be found on our main IRIS website. Below we present resources and curriculum that is specific to seismometers and earthquakes. IRIS Education and Outreach has collected and created materials to enhance earth science education both in K-12 and undergraduate classrooms. USGS CoreCast brings you straight science insight on natural hazards including earthquakes through audio podcasts of information following a major earthquake.
