Hands-On Education’s KS2 Earthquakes resource features five interactive activities designed to help students explore the science behind earthquakes. Learners build models and maps to visualize tectonic plate movement and boundaries, deepening their understanding of how earthquakes occur. Activities like mapping and the Richter Scale challenge allow students to investigate earthquake magnitude and predict potential damage, making complex concepts accessible and engaging.
The bundle also includes a printable STEM Journal, encouraging students to record observations, make predictions, and reflect on their findings throughout each activity. By designing and testing earthquake-resistant structures with simple materials, students develop engineering and problem-solving skills in a hands-on setting. This comprehensive resource supports scientific inquiry and aligns with the KS2 curriculum, making it ideal for both classroom and home learning environments1.
