The Bronx DIP II

Today marked my first full-day science workshop in the STEM grant. The topic was “Earthquakes” and there is a separate page with a list of resouces from the seminar. During the workshop we plotted some seismic events, pieced together a puzzle of tectonic plates and built spaghetti/marshmallow towers that withstood a simple shake table. Thank goodness for the WWW! All this and more I put together from online resources.

I want to thank all the teachers that attended for their wonderful enthusiasm and participation. It was a pleasure and honor to work with you today. I really enjoyed the day – hope you did, too. For the PowerPoint presentation I used during the workshop, click on the link Science Session 1: Earthquakes.

Links for the Internet Resources are on another page of this blog labelled [Quakes] – look for the tabs at the top for additional pages, or links in the sidebar under PAGES.

As it took some time to get all that paperwork done this morning, we missed sharing out our reflections of the day. So please post some comments, reflections and/or ideas here about the material presented today.
