This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching 8th grade students about earthquakes and faults. The objectives are for students to understand the relationship between faults and earthquakes, and be able to make decisions about building structures based on fault locations. The content will focus on how fault movements generate earthquakes, differentiating earthquake features, and how underwater quakes cause tsunamis. Examples, discussions, and activities are planned to help students learn concepts and be prepared for earthquakes. The goal is for students to understand that earthquakes are caused by the release of energy along tectonic plate boundaries and faults.
