Therese Arsenault's List: Unit 2: Earth's Structure Task Performance

This simulation allows you to vary ground surface, type of building materials, and magnitude of the earthquake. Students could use this to investigate the relationships between the three variables prior to constructing their building.

If we use this website, need to create a graphic organizer that helps students think through and record their information. What might this look like? What questions could be asked to draw attention to the relationships between ground, prevention, and magnitude? Would different groups investigate different scenarios and then come together to share? Expert jigsaw?
