  1. Learning Target: : I am learning how to analyze data in order to predict changes on my science grade. The purpose of this is to understand why my science grade is where it is and what habits produce a positive outcome. Today I am learning how to collect data on earthquakes and organize data into a CER response. CW: Earthquake DATA HW: Work on writing your FINAL copy of your REFLECTION_CER

  2. Monday: Monday night you take home your REFLECTION and science notebook… You can however, complete this at home over the weekend.

  3. EARTHQUAKES • Go to > • Plate Tectonic Recourses • Earthquake simulator • Students choose their buildings, their ground and structural design to see if they can make it through an earthquake. • http://www.tlc.com/games-quizzes/earthquake-simulator.htm

  4. Setting: • You are a part of the largest and most prestigious architectural firm in America and you have been hired to build three sky scrapers anywhere in the world for a very famous celebrity. Being a super smart architect you understand the need to research the right combination of ground type and building structures (to withstand earthquake) in an effort to protect the fortune of your client (a very famous celebrity). • Please review the below information to better equip your research.

  5. Magnitude • Tremor – a minor quake of magnitude 2 to 4.9 rarely causes more than minor damage • Quake-at magnitude 5 to 6.9, not the “Big One” but damage and injuries are to be expected. • Superquake-at magnitude 7.0-9.5, these are the monster quakes. Expect heavy losses in population areas.

  6. You Goal: To systematically ( one step at a time) use the evidence provided by the TLC website to answer the given question. • Question: What combination of ground and prevention structures will produce the best outcome for your very famous client and their sky scrapers during a tremor, during a quake and during a superquake? • Instructions: You will have to PREDICT what combination of ground type and structure will provide the best outcome for each earthquake type ( tremor, quake, and superquake) . Then you will OBSERVE the simulations provided by the web site. Be careful to select the provide combinations from each data table and then click the “ begin Quake” tab , write down the correct scale of destruction within the provide data table. Repeat these instruction for each quake type. After yourobservations for each quake type you will have to make a CLAIM to what combination is the best for your client.
