Earthquake Lab

The Earth Science Lab classes have located an earthquake in the lab exercise. The earthquake occurred in the middle of three cities. The task was to find the epicenter by calculating the distance between the seismic waves. The class learned how to specify when the earthquake initially occurred under the earth. One of the subsequent labs included groups of students building an earthquake-proof house. Items were provided to each team, such as a limited amount of tape, straw, paper, and a few other small items. The house was built with an egg in the middle. The task was to have an uncracked egg after the earthquake literally hit the house. We had winners!
