Lesson Six

Today we are thinking about the question 'What happens when an earthquake occurs?' Start out session by watching the video above, then select the right challenge for you below. If you are doing Bronze, you do not need to complete all of the activities in the video, but it will support your learning by listening to the information. 

Bronze: Today, you have learnt lots of new key words to do with Earthquakes. Can you create a list of these words, and tell me what you think these mean? The words you must write about are: Earthquake, Richter Scale, Evacuation and Infrastructure. You can even draw some pictures next to each word to help you remember them clearer.

Silver: Complete the activities from today's video.

Gold: Today, you have learnt about an earthquake that took place in Japan. Using the resources around you, can you research and create your own 'case study' about another Earthquake? You can talk about the dates it happened, the location, and force of the Earthquake and the impact it had on the local area. This can be presented to your class teacher as a poster, video or written piece.
