Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

This activity guide includes instructions on how to build a "Shake Table" by mounting an eccentric mass (off center) on the shaft of a small dc motor.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.
