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. Attribution: University of Wisconsin using The Yard Games added on May, 28, 2019.

The Virginia Museum of Natural History has given permission for pictures of fossils and their exhibits to be used in this virtual museum. Students can examine the latest exhibits on the Cretaceous Seaway and ask why was it there over the United States 87 million years ago. What are the oldest fossils in Virginia. They can examine evidence from Catawba Mountain just West of Roanoke to formulate hypotheses as to way so many marine species perished 450 million years ago.
