Explore the page on Eathquakes from the National Geographic and create a foldable explaining: Where do earthquakes occure? What causes earthquakes?, and types of faults. In the last part, trigger an earthquake and find where is the worst place to build a house.<br /><div></div>Science Galhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11577369091604850046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749883114324652965.post-33250127663883206822009-04-28T10:38:00.000-07:002009-05-03T17:00:33.638-07:00Simple Machines<a href="http://www.edheads.org/activities/simple-machines/"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 117px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px" alt="" src="http://www.indiabizclub.com/uploads05/31/A/CRF150-Gears101887525.jpg" border="0" /></a> Hey! What about exploring your house to find simple machines? Click on the gears to go to Edheads simple machines to learn about the 6 simple machines and how they can be used to build compound machines. Use the information on the website to do a chart with the different types of simple machines, function, and examples.

Click on the link, and find the yellow activity rectangle on the upper left corner. Click on "How far away is it?", and do the activity. You may need to use your math to figure out where does the sound travels the faster. Is it on the air, or in the water? How can you explain the results?
