YouthQuake Seismic Module
The YouthQuake Seismic Module prompts students to investigate the hazards and risk of earthquakes in California and the surrounding region. Through the five-activity unit, students integrate science practices with computational thinking to produce data visualizations and simulations of land movement along the plate boundary in California. Through block coding, students will investigate how land movement causes earthquakes and how deformation build-up poses risks to people and their communities.
