Reflection RERUN: Recall: summarize what you did Explain: explain purpose of lesson Result: Describe results Uncertainties: what you are unsure about New: two new things you learned

LT: create an analogy to describe the layers of the Earth. Do Now: 1-17-17 Complete the summary table in your notes Agenda: earth layers P-wave S-wave Stands for primary secondary Type of motion Speed strength Travels through liquids yes no Read page 70-73 Create an analogy between food and the layers of the earth

LT: create a concept map to link vocabulary units around Earthquakes. Agenda: concept map Do Now:1-13-17 Richter scale vs mercali: https://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=NaNw9LHq9dc Read pg 56-65 Generate list of vocabulary Create concept map How realistic was our model seismograph in measuring “earthquakes”? Explain. How would you improve the model seismograph to make it more accurate?

Factors that affect intensity of EQ: Distance of epicenter. The closer to epicenter=more damage. Depth of EQ: closer it is to surface, greater damage. Population: few people and few buildings means not much damage. Geology of the area: bedrock is safe, loose soil and sand is unsafe Type of construction: poorer countries suffer more damage. Duration of EQ Magnitude or ritchter scale

P-wave S-wave EQ Magnitude Intensity Volcano Ritchter scale Tsunami Ring of fire Tectonic plate Subduction Triangulation Seismograph Soil type Population density

LT: design an experiment on how to use a model seismograph to record vibrations. Do Now: 1-12-17 Agenda: recording vibrations Chinese Earthquake machine Modern seismograph T-chart comparison Review yesterday’s work Model seismograph lab.(pg 28-33) Write up sample procedure…modify to different variable Read the map and identify the following: A. How many earthquakes are on shown on the map? B. How many seismograph stations are seen on the map? C. What do the blue circles represent? D. Where do the three circles intersect? What does that tell you about the earthquake?
