Agenda

1.  After our safety review and notes, you will move on to our next standard.  If you have not already done so, please copy today's standard into your notebook, and then move on to step two.

    Infer an earthquake’s epicenter from seismographic data.

2.  Today's lab requires you to locate the epicenter of an earthquake.  

You will need BOTH of the links open at the same, and you will work through them simultaneously.

    a.  Open the Exploration Guide (in Quia), and read through it, answering the questions AS YOU MOVE through the e-lab.

    b.  Open the virtual earthquake link.  http://www.sciencecourseware.org/VirtualEarthquake/VQuakeExecute.html  Remember to READ the activity.   If there are words, they are for you.

    c.  If you have finished the exploration guide and the data table, summarize the process that is used to:   Infer an earthquake’s epicenter from seismographic data.  This is to be written in your notebook!  [If you do not finish, you must do this for homework.   Sunday night at 9:00 PM is your deadline for the Quia portion.   The data table will be collected on Monday.)

Remember that we have MAP testing tomorrow.  Please meet me in room 113.
