Urbas - Science 1/20 - 26

Whose fault is it anyway?

Students have been learning about the Earth's faults and they agree, there are many. Next week they will be acting Seismologists and responsible for finding the location of an earthquake located somewhere in the U.S.

Keep you ear to the ground, but not too close!
