NewPath Earthquakes 3-D Paper Model Making Kit - Individual Student Edition (24-7811)

Models are powerful tools for teaching Science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping make the unseen visible and the complex simple! Using the ready-to-use materials provided, students first assemble a model to represent Earthquakes that can be used to make predications and communicate their findings to others. Earthquakes release huge amounts of energy and cause tremendous amounts of destruction in many parts of the world. Your students will use this dynamic model-making kit to learn about earthquakes, their causes and effects. First, they will make subsurface model and model of a city using the colorful parts. They’ll then use their subsurface model to look at the features of an earthquake, epicenter, focus (hypocenter) and the P and S seismic waves. Finally, they’ll employ their model of a city to look at the destructive effects of the surface L and R waves. Includes enough materials for an individual student to work alone or 2 students to work cooperatively to assemble a paper model. Also includes a comprehensive background information providing opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concept. Satisfies NGSS Standards which encourage students to develop & use models to represent structures, systems & processes. Perfect for use at home, in the classroom or lab.
