1. Directions for Teachers : I created this lab with the intention of giving my students additional practice with plotting locations, beyond the places included on the lab. While my students come to me with a very basic understanding of latitude and longitude, I find they need ALOT of practice to really internalize latitude and longitude. ALSO, we will use this map again when we learn more about plate tectonics, therefore giving this activity a real purpose besides coordinate practice. 1. First plot the locations on a map and keep “ up front ”, or wherever you please. Keep in a folder and label it as “ Student Key.” ( Note the intended map to be used in this lab is enlarged for 11 x 17 paper, however there is a smaller map that can be printed on letter paper included in this file ). 2. The map in this lab has two globes labeled “ latitude ” and “ longitude.” Have students draw in the corresponding lines to give him or her a visual reminder of the coordinate system. 3. Have students follow the directions as explained in the lab. 4. Print out as many pages of the PRINTJulyEarthquakeData file. DO NOT PRINT THE WHOLE THING !!!! It is 70 pages long. Hand out one page of data to each student, starting with page two ( page one contains the data students have already plotted ). 5. Have students label the columns. See if they can figure out which column is which ! Have them check with a buddy, or up on the board to make sure they are correct. 6. Assign as many places as you would like ! For example, I ’ m going to assign ten locations each night for a full week. Students can check off each location they plot in the box on the far right of the data. This is incase YOU want to check their points, you can still see the data, but the student may still check off what they ’ ve completed. 7.“ WARNING, KEEP YOUR MAP SAFE !” I have this note on the student direction page, what I mean is to keep the map safe while completing this lab ( ie. when working on it for homework ). Once students complete the lab, I would HIGHLY recommend keeping the map and handing it back at a later date ! All data comes from http :// earthquake. usgs. gov / earthquakes / map / http :// earthquake. usgs. gov / earthquakes / map / This is a fantastic real time website which allows you to view current seismicity, as well as search for specific time intervals. I encourage you to show it to students !

2. Name: _________________________Lab: ______ Earthquake Map July 2014 LatitudeLongitude

3. Name: __________________Lab # _______ What were you doing this summer? While you were swimming, the Earth was shaking! In this lab, you will plot earthquakes that occurred during July. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to practice using latitude and longitude to plot locations. You will be creating a map of actual earthquake locations, which we will use later when we study why earthquakes occur. Directions:  Plot the locations listed below on the world map.  After you plot all the locations, check with the key up front to make sure you are plotting correctly.  Ask the teacher for your next group of coordinates and keep plotting! KEEP YOUR MAP SAFE! YOU WILL BE USING IT IN THE FUTURE!!!!
