1. Finish finding of earthquake epicenter worksheet from last lesson (10minutes). Interactive Richter Scale Using amplitude and distance to find magnitude of an earthquake (interactive)
2. Review seismograms/Richter scale (see power point)
3. Introduce Layers of Earth
Curriculum Outcome: explain the processes of mountain formation and the folding and faulting of the Earth's surface (Replicate earth's crust layers, analyze composition and thickness of each layer)
5. apple pieces and the earth's layers
6. How do we know what the inside of the Earth is made from?
7. What does the magnetic field have to do with the layers of earth?
Students! Open this worksheet if absent and fill in! This was a handout in class. Once completed, pass in at the end of class. Use the above power point to find the answers. Follow the links to Mr. Piers' wikispace.

If you are finished, raise your hand to let me know and check any completed work and then you can check out these websites: The Dynamic Earth Amazing, check out plate tectonics section
Chapter 10 Earthquakes Visualizations : Observe video taken during an earthquake. Can you guess what magnitude the earthquake is on the Richter scale and then on the Mercali scale? How do you know?
Layers of Earth check out the icons at the bottom of the page, you can make an edible earth! Recipe at bottom! Time line of Life on Earth How long have humans been around?
Create an earthquake What is the magnitude? What changes do you observe at 3.5? 5.0? 7.6?
