1. Bell-ringer: 4 minutes

3. Stations Expectations
You must record all your work for your group
Take turns writing
Put down the station name/ number
Write the questions if you have time
Answer all questions at your station
You should all be thinking and helping discuss ideas
You have 5 minutes in each station
When I call time to rotate, you must have moved within 5 seconds to your new seats
If you misuse a station or its materials, it will be removed

4. Station Topics Water Wave Tests Ocean Travel / Tsunami Videos
Force and Work in Tsunamis (Calculations)
Animals using Seismic Waves
Reading Earthquake Charts
Earthquake Experiences
Review Questions
Brain Brake/Stump Ms. K

5. Animals & Seismic Waves Station
Are there any animals that could be “famous” for their seismic waves? Where do you think they would live? Why would they make seismic waves?
Check the field guide section for moles. What did you learn? Does it say anything about how they use seismic waves to communicate? (Feel free to follow up at the stump the teacher station)

6. Water Wave Test Station
What would you have to do to make a transverse and longitudinal wave?
Drop the rock in the water. Using our vocabulary, describe the waves that are created.
Predict what would happen if we dropped two rocks a distance apart into the water. Would the waves combine or knock out each other? Test it. Were you right?
Predict what would happen to the floating duck if we used a bigger rock… If we used 2 rocks dropped to the left and right of the duck. Test it. Were you right?

7. Thinking about Oceans Station
Minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, ocean waves continue to splash onto the shore.
1. Explain why the beach is not completely submerged under water and why the middle of the ocean has not yet been depleted (emptied) of its water supply.
2. What is so different about the waves (seismic and water) that create tsunamis?
3. What did you learn from the video?

8. Test Prep Station
Describe in a complete sentence: How does energy move across space in a seismic versus water wave?
Label each kind of wave as either longitudinal or transverse.

9. Ask Ms. K Station
Try to stump the teacher or get some clarity on things you are confused about or interested in about water and seismic waves

10. Earthquake Station
What do machines really pick up when an earthquake is coming?
Compare and contrast the following graphs created by machines sensing seismic tremors. Which waves are coming in with more energy?
A Do you see
any aftershocks? B

11. Risks in Earthquakes Match the BIGGEST risks for each country
United States A. Loss of life
(wealthy) B. Don’t have the equipment
to detect the quakes
2. Indonesia C. Building damage, Cost
(large population, pretty poor) D. Finding clean water

12. Brain Brake: Word Search Station
Take one copy that has not been finished yet. Find at least 2-3 words before moving on. Circle them in the puzzle and cross them off the word bank.
DO NOT complete more than 5 words!

13. Point of View Practice Read over the callers’ reports of the event
Summarize what people experienced by grouping the callers into at least 2 categories based on their opinions of what happened
Group 1: Experienced Little Damage
Group 2: Experienced __________________
Opinions of the Quake 1. 2.
