Earthquake Games

The answers to intriguing questions about the mysterious, sometimes destructive forces that rock the planet are given in this fascinating book. How can the ‘solid’ earth shake and break up? Will we ever be able to predict accurately the timing and location of an earthquake or volcano? Can a structure be built to withstand these forces? To make the physical nature of these volatile phenomena easier to understand, a series of games and experiments is presented for young readers. Projects make use of everyday materials and settings, from bricks in a bathtub to rolling pins on the floor, to cereal boxes fashioned into seismographs. Illustrated profusely with line drawings and diagrams.
