Part 7/8 Interpreting Results Continued
In this video we continued interpreting our results by adding more and more data to the scale model. Through this process we reveal Earth's core and can use the scale model to estimate the radius of Earth's core within a small % error.
Tutorial to accompany the Lesson, "Determining and Measuring Earth's Layered Interior"
Learning occurs as students work first in small groups and then as a whole class to compare predicted seismic wave travel times, generated by students from a scaled Earth model, to observed seismic data from a recent earthquakes. This activity uses models, real data and emphasizes the process of science.
