WEEK BEGINNING:
Relevance
Connection
To show students
hoe scientists
record seismic
waves (p and s
waves)
Formative
Assessment
Written responses in
explore learning
The Refraction and
reflection of seismic
waves as they move
through one type of
material to another is
used to differentiate the
layers of the Earth’s
interior. Earth has an
inner outer core, an
upper mantle and lower
