Earth Science -- It's All the Earth's "Fault"
Judy Hodges
Average rating:4.8Number of reviews:(50)
This class should prove to be explosive -- all about fault lines, the Ring of Fire, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, etc.
Class experience
Using the ever-popular baking soda and vinegar chemical reaction, students will observe how gas and other pressures can force magma out of the Earth during a volcano. (A drop or two of red food color, if desired, will give their "magma" the right color. A sprinkle of paprika, black pepper and/or red pepper flakes will simulate the semi-solid rocks and lava bombs that may come out of a volcano. The gas and liquid mixture forced out of the bottle and down its sides mimic both the magma and...
Students will be able to compare and contrast the main types of volcanoes, of faults and earthquakes, focus and epicenter, and seismic waves. Students will be able to discuss the possible causes of tsunamis and the location and causes of the Ring of Fire. Students will be able to use a map to assess their risk of these events at their home.
I am Pennsylvania certified in Earth Science.
Baking soda, vinegar (red food coloring and paprika, black pepper or red pepper flakes if desired for effect) an empty water or soda bottle for the reaction, and a pan for any spillover. Links will be provided for any needed notes sheets. Students will need to print a copy for their use during class.
