This worksheet focuses on using the P and S graph to find different variables. Students will solve for epicenter distance, seismic wave travel time, earthquake time, etc. Focus will be on reading the graph properly with proper units. Each question builds to more difficult ones and all take a slightly different approach. A PowerPoint presentation of the solutions is included so students may follow along. The worksheet is editable and includes an answer key. The P and S chart from the New Y

A simple worksheet for students to understand the difference between Balanced and Unbalanced forces and the use of proper units.

This bundle contains the 5 Seismology products listed below. The are two worksheets that will work well before the students work on the included labs/internet activities so they have the skills to succeed. Products: Finding Epicenters: The Japanese Tsunami Seismology Internet Activity/Lab Practice Reading the Seismic Graph: P & S waves (PowerPoint solution included for student to follow visually) The Seismic Slide: Finding Epicenter Distance with Visuals New York State Reference Tables i

This simple lab scales down the planets to a size that fits on paper. Students will see how the sizes of terrestrial and Jovian planets are different and answer questions. A wonderful YouTube video allows them to see how all of the sizes compare. You may edit this lab, answer key provided. Educating the World Together!Get Science

This lab activity allows students to create their own H-R Diagram with given star data. Students will analyze the data and understand the relationship between temperature, luminosity, size and color. Making their own diagram will help to solidify the concepts. This worked great with my own students! An amazing YouTube video is included so the students can see a size comparison of different stars.

As a inquiry lab activity, this lab may be done prior to teaching students about sedimentary rocks. Students will need to classify the sedimentary rocks based on physical properties they observe. Students will create their own classification system for their samples and then compare/contrast to the existing classification system found in the New York State Reference Tables. Materials needed: 6 different samples of sedimentary rocks. For example: Bioclastic Limestone, Sandstone, Conglomerate

This worksheet should be used simultaneously with the free PowerPoint presentation titled "Planetary Motions". The PowerPoint walks the students through the meanings of Conjunction, Opposition and Retrograde motion. Examples, pictures and animations are used for better understanding. The planets and the Moon are used as examples and students will need to draw on a diagram to show their understanding. This lesson can be edited and the answer key is provided.The PowerPoint has animations th

This activity allows the students to practice the skill of finding eccentricity both mathematically and conceptually. Students will use a ruler to find the distance between foci and the major axis. Pictures will be analyzed with emphasis on what it means to be more or less eccentric. Materials: Ruler, Calculator A YouTube Video is included to engage students and allow them to visually see elliptical orbits. This document is editable and included an answer key.

This simple yet effective lab allows students to strengthen their graphing skills using real word data. Students will deal with larger numbers as they see the exponential growth of the global population. Students will practice rate of change problems and scientific notation. Students will also make observations and inferences on their findings. You may edit this lab. Answer key and Graph Paper provided. Website for current world population in real time provided.

This activity shows students with pictures how to find the distance to epicenters using the Seismic Slide trick. Students will work with the P & S wave graph, find time differences and then find the distance to the epicenter. This is a great activity that uses visuals to help student learning. The P and S wave graph from the New York State Reference Tables is included for free. This document is editable and includes the key. Educating the World Together!Get Science

Using real world data, students will find the epicenter from the devastating 2011 Japanese Tsunami. Students will use the P and S seismic wave chart to find distances to the epicenter and a drawing compass to pinpoint the location. There is a close reading as well including facts and commentary on the event. Several YouTube video links are included for a fully immersive experience for the students so that they may witness the actual events and understand what it is like to be in a Tsunami.

This 6 page lab activity will help students remember where hurricanes form and why. The lab explores the differences and similarities between Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina. Students will practice their skill of plotting using latitude and longitude as they plot the tracks of both. The Saffir-Simpson scale will be used as students analyze data from both storms. Students will plot pressure vs. wind speed to understand the relationship and answer questions based on the data and general h

This lab activity compares the atmospheres of the different worlds in our solar system. Students will collect real world data regarding the atmospheres and create a graph. Students will see how the size of the object relates to the thickness of the atmosphere. This great activity allows students to compare the atmospheres of other worlds to our Earth. Engaging students with actual data is the best way to learn and foster great classroom discussions! The lab can be edited and contains the

My students absolutely love this lab! This activity serves as a wonderful Chemistry review keeping the students fully engaged. Students will learn about the chemical reaction taking place with Effervescent tablets as they analyze the compounds and learn the reactants and products. Such topics as catalysts, counting atoms, solvent vs. solute, etc. are explored. Materials needed: Film canisters, Effervescent tablets, safety goggles. You may edit this worksheet and the key is included. Educati

Fun and simple way for students to learn how to figure out how many protons, electrons and neutrons are present in any element on the Periodic Table. This skill is vital for students to be able to grasp and process more complex Chemistry. Using APE MAN will help make Chemistry easier!
