Schools Study Earthquakes

Our beautiful planet is constantly under transformation. Sometimes, changes occur over a very long period of time and we barely note them. Some other times however, transformations are the result of massive and devastating events. In this activity we explore some of Earth's most intense and overwhelming events; volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis. We will reflect on the impact of these natural phenomena on humans and their societies.

The "Earthquakes for Junior High School Students" Inquiry Learning Space introduces students to aspects of earthquakes. Students learn about the science behind earthquake generation and detection and investigate the Tectonic Plate Theory, by correlating its outcomes with the worldwide distribution of earthquakes in real time.

Activity created by: Yvoni Pavlou
In this lesson you will investigate the relation between the different types of tectonic plates boundaries and the occurrence of earthquakes.

This activity is a standalone activity, but it is also part of the 'Restless Earth' accelerator.

This activity is about designing a citizen's alert programm to help your municipality raise awareness among the locals on natural hazards and how to be protected from them. Students can carry out their inquiry simultaneously with schools from other countries, share their results and data and exchange experiences.

The School Study Earthquakes (SSE) project aims to increase students’ interest in scientific processes, influence their awareness of how earthquakes affect their life, as well as assisting them to develop key skills, such as analysis and problem solving skills through the study of seismology. Exploiting the innate curiosity of students about natural phenomena enables lifelong learning. In order to achieve this goal, teacher’s role is significant.

Διαδοχικές καταγραφές του σεισμού μεγέθους 5,9 R που έγινε στις 21/5 στα ανοιχτά της Πύλου (στο Φρέαρ των Οινουσσών) από τους σχολικούς σεισμογράφους του Δικτύου SNAC καθώς τα σεισμικά κύματα ταξιδεύουν Β, ΒΑ και Α όπως αναπτύσσεται το Δίκτυο. Στις διαδοχικές εικόνες παρουσιάζονται οι σταθμοί, οι καταγραφές και οι αποστάσεις στις οποίες βρίσκονται από το επίκεντρο του σεισμού.

The “Students Study Volcanoes” accelerator .aims to shed light in the mechanisms of volcano eruption, provide students and schools with educational scenarios employing state of the art simulations and remote labs which can be used to help forecast the possibility of a volcanic eruption and finally provide students with the means and methodology to raise awareness regarding volcanic dangers.

Οι μαθητές αναλογίζονται τον αντίκτυπο φυσικών φαινομένων, όπως είναι οι σεισμοί, οι ηφαιστειακές εκρήξεις και τα τσουνάμι, στους ανθρώπους και τις κοινωνίες τους. Καλούνται επίσης να σχεδιάσουν ένα πρόγραμμα αφύπνισης των πολιτών προκειμένου να αυξήσουν την ευαισθητοποίηση της τοπικής κοινότητας και να βοηθήσουν το Δήμο τους να προετοιμάσει τους πολίτες για τέτοια συμβάντα.
