As we have been learning all about Earthquakes these last few days we would like you to write some interesting facts about them.
Watch this video to remind yourself about how an earthquake occurs here.
Think back to the non-chronological report you read on Friday about earthquakes and try to remember some key facts!
Write as many facts as you can remember.
Can you use some of these words in your facts?
Faults, boundaries, seismic, seismograph, tectonic plates
Can you include the location of some plate boundaries?
Remember to include punctuation and think carefully about your spelling!
Enquiry
Today we are going to make a seismograph! Do you remember what it is?
A seismograph detects earthquakes by measuring vibrations in the Earth. You are going to make a model to demonstrate how it works!
You will need:
Shoebox, Paper or plastic cup, Pencil or felt tip, Scissors, String, Sellotape, Long paper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Carefully make two holes in the top of the box, ask a grown up to help with this part.
- Next, make another hole in the centre of the bottom of the plastic or paper cup and two holes on either side of the top of the cup.
- Push your pen or pencil through the bottom hole and make sure it’s secure. Just a couple of cm of the pen should be poking through the bottom.
- Thread your string through the two holes in the cup and then through the holes in the box and tie securely. The cup should be dangling down inside the box. You need to tie the string so the pen rests on the bottom of the box.
- Carefully make a slit on either side of the bottom of the box and cut a length of paper that will pass through the slits.
- Thread the paper through the slits.
- Place your seismograph on a flat surface and ask a friend to shake the box while you pull the paper.
- You should see a wiggly line on the paper. The more you shake the box the wider the lines will be.
Try making different types of movements to see how they change the line created.
Shadae, Faith and Mohamed Abdi have done a brilliant job doing their own seismographs! Well done!
