1-Component Seismogram: Building Responds to P, S, Surface Waves
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

This animation illustrates how seismic waves travel through the earth to a single seismic station. Scale and movement of the seismic station are greatly exaggerated to depict the relative motion recorded by the seismogram as P, S, and surface waves arrive.

Rating
0.0 stars

Students will demonstrate knowledge of visible light interactions with different materials and through different mediums (air, solids, and water). Students will use Sphero Bolt to create a flashlight. The goal is to create the brightest light from the LED lights on the Sphero BOLT. Students will need to understand how light interacts with different substances to successfully create the brightest flashlight. They will also test their lights in water to see how waves change direction and speed in different mediums.  The Light intensity will be measured using the function in google science journal.

0.0 stars

Students will investigate waves through a series of activities. They will differentiate compressional, surface and transverse waves and how each of these waves acts during an earthquake. Students will also explore how a seismograph works and practice locating and plotting earthquake epicenters. Then, students will study liquefaction and relate it to damage due to earthquake waves.

Gathering Light

Students learn how a telescope's aperture determines how much light it can gather in this Moveable Museum unit. It has three procedures, one of which is optional. The four-page PDF guide includes suggested general background readings for educators, activity notes, step-by-step directions, and information about where to obtain supplies. In this activity, the light collector is not a lens or a mirror, but a hole in a cardboard box. Light enters through the hole and lights up the box. Users can change the size of the hole and see how the amount of light entering the box changes. The results show why increasing the aperture of a telescope increases the amount of light it can collect.

Rating
0.0 stars

Sample Learning Goals
Explore how light interacts with molecules in our atmosphere
Identify that absorption of light depends on the molecule and the type of light
Relate the energy of the light to the resulting motion
Identify that energy increases from microwave to ultraviolet
Predict the motion of a molecule based on the type of light it absorbs
Identify how the structure of a molecule affects how it interacts with light
