Poster Day 2 and Other Stuff
We worked on completing our faults poster (see yesterday's post). They will be due on Monday, graded as well as voted on by students to see which is best.
In other news, we will begin creating our earthquake resistant buildings next week and need supplies! The supplies we need are wax paper and spaghetti noodles. Anyone that can bring either one for the class to use it would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Have an awesome weekend!!

It's Your Faults Poster
It's poster time in class! We are busy creating informative posters about the different faults that cause earthquakes as well as their movements. NOTE: We will finish them tomorrow (Friday) in class. Winning poster from each class gets a candy bar 6 pack! How awesome is that? The requirements for the poster are below and the information can be found on pages B49-50 in the book.

Earthquakes!! What Causes Them?
In class we read B 2.1 about earthquakes, where they are located and what causes them. Faults are where earthquakes happen. Reverse faults happen at convergent boundaries. Normal faults happen along divergent boundaries and strike-slip happen at transform boundaries.
