Shake up learning with this powerful KS2 geography activity pack!

This engaging resource brings earthquakes to life through hands-on investigations and engineering challenges. Perfect for Key Stage 2 learners, children will discover how earthquakes occur, investigate plate tectonics, and design earthquake-resistant structures while exploring the science of seismic activity.

What's Included:

  • Tectonic Plates Model - Create a hands-on model to understand how Earth's plates move
  • Tectonic Plates Map - Investigate where earthquakes occur around the world and why
  • The Richter Scale - Learn how earthquakes are measured and compared
  • Make A Seismograph - Build an instrument to detect and record earthquake vibrations
  • Earthquake Resistance Structure Challenge - Design and test buildings that can withstand earthquakes

Learning Benefits:

  • Supports KS2 Geography curriculum objectives for physical geography
  • Develops understanding of plate tectonics, seismic activity, and Earth's structure
  • Integrates geography with science, maths, and DT through engineering challenges
  • Builds knowledge of natural hazards and how humans adapt to them
  • Encourages investigation of global patterns and physical processes
  • Perfect for cross-curricular STEM projects on natural disasters and Earth science
  • Makes geological processes tangible through model-making and engineering challenges
  • Develops problem-solving skills through earthquake-resistant design

Ideal for: Teachers, home educators, and parents teaching KS2 geography and exploring earthquakes and Earth science with children.
