Tsunami Activity

Our next activity was to recreate a tsunami. In a flat pan,
the kids built up a sandy beach (sand, corn flour) and built
little houses.

Then they added water and created an earthquake. It
didn't work when the kids hit the table with the bat, but
when the table was given a good shake the tsunami hit
fill force.

You may be interested in the Earth Science Unit we did more recently -- and be sure to check out our Earth Science Unit Study Packet! It includes worksheets about the solar system, the layers of the Earth, plate tectonics, the ring of fire, earthquake activity and volcanoes. I also included more than a dozen hands-on activities we did with this unit including activities about plate tectonics, using a compass, earthquakes, volcanoes, instructions on how to make a shake table and more!
