How long does it take to have that location/ country continue with" business as usual..
- Link these impacts with your case study location. For this also include newspaper articles that shows the effects of the earthquake there.Update your blog by writing your findings here.
- Use words like richer scale, seismic waves, energy, warning signals magnitude, and
- Examine what are the potential consequences of an earthquake. Research ideas on landslides, tsunami, and liquefaction.What are these process and the effects it has as well.
- Research one cartoon that shows the impacts of the earthquakes. Provide an analysis of this in your blog.

Assessment: design creation and demonstration of your survival kits. -
Kia ora...students and welcome to week 5. This is an exciting week as you will demonstrate your survival kits.
Achievement Objectives: Enter AO's here
Big Idea: Innovations
Learning Intentions: We are learning to (WALT)...
- examine what is a survival kit and why this is necessary if you live in an earthquake country
- create a survival kit where items are labelled
- demonstrate the use of each item with clarity
Success Criteria: I can/have...
- understood the value of a survival kit
- created a survival with each item labeled
- demonstrated its use with clarity and confidence
Activities:
- By watching the video on earthquakes, and the need for a survival kit, express what are your views.
- Complete the creation of your survival kit in class by making sure it is practical yet having a few unique items as well.Be creative and innovative.
- Each student is to demonstrate your survival kit, where you are assessed on the design and creativity, labeled items, clear demonstrations and reflections of the need for New Zealanders to keep a survival kit. Clear and good communication skills.
- Also, you are to create a slideshow to inform children in very poor countries what they can do to get through an earthquake using everyday items at home. This activity does require research but also for you to inference or use intelligent guesses.
