  1. EARTHQUAKESWebQuest Mrs. O’Regan, sixth grade science

  2. INTRODUCTION TASK PROCESS EVALUATION CONCLUSION RESOURCES INTRODUCTION You and your partner are famous seismologists. You have been hired to create a presentation for a third grade class that would explain where, how and why earthquakes happen.

  3. INTRODUCTION TASK PROCESS EVALUATION CONCLUSION RESOURCES TASK • You are to create a presentation that would accurately explain the where, when, why and how of earthquakes to elementary school students. All information can be found within the websites and within your science textbook. The topics that MUST be addressed are as follows: • The different types of plate boundaries • The different types of faults • The different types of seismic waves • The focus and the epicenter • The three scales used for measuring earthquakes • Seismographs and seismograms • You may present your project as a poster, a book, or a PowerPoint presentation. (If you have other ideas, please see me before you get started.) • Since this project is geared toward third graders, you are limited to no more than 75 words to describe each of the topics. That allows you enough words to create brief captions for each of the subtopics. Keep your explanations accurate, but short. • Be aware of a third grader’s vocabulary when you write your descriptions. You must include the vocabulary words, but your explanations need to be in third grade terms. • You must create at least one 3-D model. It can be used to illustrate any one of the six bulleted topics. Your model can be anything from a pop-up book to a diorama to a clay model. It does not have to be big in size. Be creative. Use things that you have around the house!

  4. INTRODUCTION TASK PROCESS EVALUATION CONCLUSION RESOURCES PROCESS • Take out three pieces of paper and list each of the bulleted topics on one side of the paper so that you have one topic on each of the six sides of your paper. • Look up your topics to see how many sub categories there are. For example… there are 3 different types of plate boundaries. You need to discuss all of them. Write down the names, then write down information you discover about them. • Gather information about all the topics. • Sort through your information to write a good, yet short description for each of your subtopics and topics. Remember that each of the six bulleted topics can have no more than 75 total words. • Should you make a poster, a book, or a PowerPoint? • Decide how to best present your project. Are you looking for pictures on the internet or out of magazines? Will you draw your pictures? Will you type or handwrite your information? • Make sure that all components are neat, spelled correctly, colored/glued neatly. Overall neatness and visual appeal of your project counts! • Decide which of the six topics would make the best kind of project for you. You are only to choose 1. • Create your 3-D model. It needs to be factual and neat. • Write one paragraph to explain what your project is, why you chose to do that, and show how your project illustrates your topic. • You and your partner will present your total project to the class.

  6. INTRODUCTION TASK PROCESS EVALUATION CONCLUSION RESOURCES CONCLUSION • To successfully complete this WebQuest, you and your partner must work as a team. • Double check that you have followed all of the procedures and requirements correctly. • Double check your projects against the evaluation rubrics • Poster has all topics and subtopics • All words within the project are accurate and spelled correctly • All information is factual • Each of the six topics (including the captions) is presented in 5 words or less • The project has visual appeal: it is neat in not only coloring and writing, but it also appears that there was much thought and time put into the project • The 3-D model is neat and accurate • You both know all of the information so that you can present it to the class in a short presentation
