Earthquake Science Project Ideas

This book contains 20 simple and fun experiments that allow you to discover the answers to questions, such as:

What is the San Andreas Fault?
How can you make a seismograph?
Where are earthquakes most likely to happen?

Dozens of additional questions and suggestions are given so that you can develop your own science fair project. Learn about seismic waves with a friend using a piece of rope; about the Richter scale with a cardboard box, popcorn, and a yardstick; and much more. All experiments use inexpensive household materials and involve a minimum of preparation and cleanup.
