Ask students which earthquakes they remember hearing about in the news during the past few years. What were the effects of these earthquakes? What lessons might these earthquakes teach us to help us better prepare for future ones? Hold a brief class discussion on these questions.
This lesson helps students understand the processes used to identify the location of an earthquake’s epicenter and how the Richter magnitude of the earthquake is determined.
Students will create a six-sided brochure that showcases the culture and history of a specific host country for the Olympic games and that focuses on one sport.
Students create charts showing historical statistics about the Winter Olympic Games.
The purpose of the activity is for a student to study and follow a Winter Olympic event as it takes place during the Olympics.
