In this 5-session geography class, students investigate a range of key aspects of the physical geography of earthquakes and how to plan and prepare for them.
Class experience
This multi-day class is a great introduction to earth sciences and covers several key geographical concepts in relation to plate tectonics and how earthquakes are formed. Each class is supported by on-screen resources, printable worksheets and the opportunity to complete hands-on activities, including making a 3D modelling dough model of the earth and its layers. Students are given the opportunity to investigate: • The structure of the Earth • How and why earthquakes happen • How to stay...
> To understand what happens at plate boundaries and why tectonic plates are moving. > To explain what causes earthquakes and how they are measured > To examine ways to minimize the risks from earthquakes
I have taught, as a qualified teacher, in mainstream schools for 20 plus years, and hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Education and a degree in Environmental Science and History. I have extensive experience in delivering classroom-based lessons and online sessions in a range of subjects to students aged 5-16. I currently teach several UK based home educated students who are studying for their GCSE in a range of subjects.
Session 1: Modelling dough (red, yellow, orange, pink, brown, green and blue) - enough to make approximately 3-4” ball in layers. Session 2: Sheet (A4 size) of thin card. * Other sessions: Colored pencils/felt pens, ruler, scissors, eraser and pen * Access to a printer - for weekly handouts and supporting resources
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
For safety, parents are advised to support students when completing the hands on activities, particularly when the use of scissors is involved. This lesson uses private link, onscreen clickable resources (content created by the teacher) via the Genial.ly web app (https://genial.ly/). Learners and parents do not require a log in to access the resource. The Privacy policy for the web app can be viewed at https://genial.ly/privacy/ This class also uses teacher resources via NearPod (https://nearpod.com). Again, learners and parents do not require a log-in to access the resources. The Privacy policy for the web app can be viewed at https://nearpod.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/7889123955220
