Description:
This collection of 12 digital curriculum resources is organised into three categories: fault lines, causes and effects of earthquakes, and tectonic plates. The collection contains images of fault lines, several learning objects that investigate tectonic forces and plate movements, and a learning object in which students create a television show about earthquakes. The collection also includes several assessment resources to assess a student's ability to use geological evidence to interpret past events such as earthquakes.
Educational value:
- Provides a selection of quality-assured resources about earthquakes to support science teaching and learning across various years of schooling from year 6, particularly year 10.
- Presents the resources in four ways - on a carousel, a 'View all' page, and organised into categories on individual resource pages and on a 'Print view' page.
- Provides links to each of the resources included in the collection.
