Science 8: Earthquake, Day 5 of 5
Group:
Earthquake Slip Classroom Exercise
 A piece of 2x4 wood, cut
approximately 13 cm long.
 10 thin rubber bands (looped
together for a total length of
about 16 cm)
 A meter stick
 Laptop
Morning Meeting:
Objective:
Content 01. Earthquakes are a sudden motion or
trembling in Earth caused by the abrupt release of
slowly accumulated strain.
Content 02. Fault is a crack in on of Earth’s plates that
results when enough force is applied to break the rock
of Earth’s crust.
Content 03. Focus is the point where part of the crust
breaks loose and moves suddenly, causing an
earthquake.
Investigate. The process of faulting called stick-slip
elastic rebound. Students will record data based or off
of this type of faulting. This data will be recorded on an
Excel chart.

Explain. Using the graphed data from the investigation,
student will make a correlation between tectonic plate
movement and earthquakes.
