This document outlines a lesson plan on earthquakes and faults for an 8th grade science class. The objectives are for students to understand the relationship between earthquakes and faults, and to make decisions about building structures based on fault locations. The content will focus on earthquakes and faults from the science textbook and additional materials. Students will perform an activity on tsunamis and analyze how earthquakes at sea can cause tsunamis. They will discuss the immediate effects of earthquakes on humans and do an earthquake drill. The lesson aims to help students generalize that earthquakes can destroy lives through different events.
