The Great Southern California ShakeOut Teachable Moment

The Great Southern California ShakeOut is an earthquake drill for a simulated magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault on November 13, 2008.  UNAVCO has created a Teachable Moment, which is a set of powerpoint slides on ShakeOut for you to use in your classroom.  The slideshow can be downloaded at: www.unavco.org/EO. 

Note: the slideshow includes a video of the shaking.  There a two options for downloading the slideshow and the video.  1) You can download the powerpoint and the video separately, and then exit the slideshow to play the video on the second slide OR 2) you can download the powerpoint and video as a zip file, which you then have to unzip.  If you keep the video and powerpoint in the same folder, the movie should play within the powerpoint.
