In the Classroom

During a class on environmental conservation, have students open this site on their individual computers. Looking at the site, what do they think would be the most beneficial actions to take to conserve land for bears? Use this site as a launchpad for a discussion on human-animal interaction, and the affect humans have had on their habitat. This site would also be a useful source for any student working on a research project, making it an excellent site to post on the class wiki or web page so students could access it both in and out of the classroom!

The US Geological Survey offers this page full of information about earthquakes, earthquake monitoring, and earthquake safety. The site includes several features that offer real-time reporting data.

Introduce this site to your students on an interactive whiteboard or with a projector. Go through the basics about earthquakes then set up stations for students to rotate through the rest of the material on this site. Require that all students go through some of the stations. Some of the material can be free choice by students or skipped according to their interest.
