Earthquakes happen when forces in the Earth cause violent shaking of the ground. Earthquakes can be very destructive to buildings and other man-made structures. Design and build various types of buildings, then test your buildings for earthquake resistance using a shake table and a force sensor that measures how hard a force pushes or pulls your building.

This introduction lesson is designed to improve students' vocabulary skills and understanding of earthquakes. The pre-game vocabulary activity will allow students to define terms related to earthquakes using prior knowledge. This will allow the students to see what they will be covering and will activate any prior knowledge. During game play, students will be able to improve their definition of the different terms as well as understanding the basics of earthquakes. The post-game activity will allow your students and yourself the opportunity to see how the students' scientific vocabulary has grown.

This lesson contains instructions and patterns for preparing seven three-dimensional paper models that schematically illustrate common earth faults and associated landforms.
The faults described are: 1. normal 2. reverse 3. right 4. left-lateral 5. strike-slip 6. oblique-slip
There are also models and discussions of two fault-produced landforms, a graben and a horst.
These models are intended to help students and others visualize the principal classes of faults and learn some of the terminology used by geologists to describe faults.
By constructing and examining these models, students will obtain a greater appreciation of the relationship between fault displacements and the landforms that result.
