Epicenter
Lesson Plan:
Overview
Students become seismologists trying to triangulate the location of an earthquake by using data (seismograms) retrieved from at least three different seismic stations. The students get to make use of their knowledge about P and S waves. The options and help menus provide a great deal of valuable information about the program Epicenter and seismology.
We went through the introductory pages as a group and demonstrated how the activity worked with one station o ...

Investigation of the Aral and Salton Seas
Lesson Plan:
Overview
The Salton Sea , located in Imperial County of Southern California, is a saline lake that was formed in a large basin (called the Salton Trough) created by releasing bend of the San Andreas fault. In modern times, the Salton Trough became a lake in 1891, but dried up within a year. It began to form again in 1893. In 1905, the Colorado River was diverted into the Salton Trough to create the Salton Sea. The Salton Sea was original ...

Sands of Time
Geology
Lesson Introduction
Sand is produced by a long process of erosion and the weathering effects of wind and water. The "parent" rock from which sand originates may be a far off mountain range. By learning about the composition of sand, students will also learn about the geological history of the earth, and the powerful forces of water, wind and ice that shape our landscape.

Overview
The phenomenon of sea-floor spreading is one of the most remarkable features of planet Earth. Wherever two tectonic plates pull apart, the gap is filled continually with newly created oceanic crust. The site of new sea-floor creation is at the crest of the great oceanic spreading ridges, globe-girdling mountain ranges that would be seen as Earth's most dramatic features if they were not hidden beneath the waters of the oceans.
