Urbas - Science Week of Jan 15 - 21


This has been a terribly sad week for the people of Haiti with their earthquake that was a 7 on the Richter Scale. The 6th grade has just started studying about Plate Tectonics and earthquakes and they have a real understanding of what occurs. The picture at left shows some of the devastation in Haiti this week from the earthquake.
Students next week will be learning how to find the location of an earthquake from the waves it produces and will become Lakeview's latest group of Seismologists.
