State standard 8.4.5 reads: "Analyze and interpret patterns of the occurrence of natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events, and investigate how data are used to develop technologies to mitigate their effects. Emphasize how some natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions and severe weather, are preceded by phenomena that allow prediction, but others, such as earthquakes, may occur without warning. (ESS3.B)" Our particular area is not prone to disasters such as tornadoes and hurricanes, but it is seismically active. Earthquake forecasters continue to state that we are due for a large Earthquake along one particular fault. The general area for this fault can be seen by looking out our very own classroom window. As I teach about natural disasters and their mitigation, I want to make the material all the more real for students by getting them to engage in a more hands-on manner. A seismograph will allow students to see how we record and evaluate earthquakes. Students will then be able to better understand the data researchers look at as they make such statements as the fact that we are due for a major earthquake. The earthquake table and related supplies will help students better understand the mechanics of an earthquake and how building materials and design help mitigate subsequent damage, injury, and possible death. The model will help students better visualize how our valley is structured and potential causes of earthquakes. Regarding quarantined students and other remote learners, I plan to make instructional videos using the tools mentioned above and then posting them to Canvas. My goal is to give students sufficient instruction that they can at a minimum come up with a plan for a model that they can test in class when they return to school.
