Earthquakes, Seismic Waves, and Seismographs
by Colleen Rundell
Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about earthquakes, seismic waves, and seismographs by designing and creating a seismograph. The seismograph design requires shoe boxes or other small boxes, string, tape, rulers, scissors, black markers, and graph paper.
