Earth Science Unit 2 Day 12

Learning: Students will learn about minimizing the impacts 

of earthquakes by constructing and evaluating models in 

writing using the language of science (infrastructure, 

engineering, force, magnitude, energy, pressure, plate 

movements, causes of structural failures, effects, seismic 

waves, earthquake epicenter and focus)

Questions:

1. What alterations have you had to make to the original design plan of your building model? (brain)
2. What other materials or information would be helpful in constructing your model? (brain)
3. What type of design do you think will work best to minimize the impact of an earthquake? (Brain)
