This is an activity that models the operation of a seismograph, a tool used to measure the size of earthquakes.

Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

This activity guide includes instructions on how to build a "Shake Table" by mounting an eccentric mass (off center) on the shaft of a small dc motor.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
