Then complete the ‘How are volcanoes made?’ worksheet.

 

Earthquakes

Read through the Powerpoint slides and watch the video clips on the pages by clicking on the links.

Activity 1 - Write a paragraph answering the following questions:

  • What is an earthquake?
  • How are earthquakes measured?
  • Why are earthquakes dangerous?
  • Add any other research/ facts you have found out too!

 

Activity 2 - In some parts of the world, earthquakes are more common than in the UK.  In these places, children are taught what to do if an earthquake happens.

  • Create a poster giving advice of what to do in the event of an earthquake. Use slide 7 to help!  You may use present this using whatever media you want. E.g. art/paints, computer, video recording.
