Kettner's Science

Today we worked in groups to design and build earthquake proof structures. We then tested our structures and reflected about our design.

Homework: Look through current newspapers, magazines, or online periodicals for an article about earthquakes, volcanoes or other geologic wonders. The article could be about current happenings, research, or any new findings.

Requirements of assignment:
* Read the entire article (make sure you understand it).
* Summarize the article in your own words and include your opinion about the research or event. How does the structure and movements of the earth affect people and the community in which they live?
* You must have a copy of the article attached to your summary. Be sure to ask permission before you rip or cut anything out of a magazine. You can bring in the whole magazine and I will make a copy of it.
* Must be in final draft form - on loose-leaf, in blue or black ink, spelling and grammar need to be checked - yes, you can type it.
