Fault Model Lab for Science 8

The document provides instructions for a science laboratory activity on fault models. The objectives are for students to be able to identify the parts of a fault, differentiate three types of faults, and understand the value of discipline. The materials are a printed fault model template, folder, glue, and scissors. The procedures explain how to cut and assemble the fault model to show the fault plane, focus, and epicenter. Processing questions ask students to define a fault and how it generates earthquakes, identify fault model parts, and describe normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. The activity will be graded based on a rubric evaluating content, organization, structure, and neatness.

SCIENCE 8 | SECOND QUARTER SCORE:

Class #: ____ Gr. & Sec.: _______________________


A.Y. 2023-2024
Name: _______________________________________ LABORATORY #1 – FAULT MODEL

OBJECTIVES: At the end of the activity, the learners should be able to:
1. identify the parts of a fault;
2. differentiate the three types of faults;
3. and manifest the value of behavior and discipline in completing the tasks.

MATERIALS: Printed fault model, long folder, glue, scissors.


PROCEDURES:
1. Print or photocopy the template provided by your teacher. Then cut along the outlines of the two drawings.
2. Fold along the lines and paste where indicated. In the end, you should have a model consisting of two parts that
fit together.
3. The upper surface of the model represents the surface of the Earth. The trace of the fault on the surface of the
Earth is called the fault line.
4. Pull the two pieces apart. The flat surface between the two pieces is called the fault plane. This is where fault slip
or fault movement happens.
5. The place where the fault begins to slip is called the focus. It is where the first movement occurs. Thus, the focus
is the origin of the earthquake.
6. Put the two pieces of the model together. The focus is now hidden “underground.” Now, imagine a vertical line
from the focus to the upper surface of the model. Mark the place where you expect the line to come out. The spot directly above the focus on the surface
of the Earth is called the epicenter.

PROCESSING QUESTIONS: (5 points each)

RUBRIC: Content (completeness and accuracy of the concepts) – 3


Organization (structure and flow of thoughts) - 2

2. Identify and briefly describe each part of the fault based on what you have learned from the activity or discussion (i.e., footwall, hanging wall, focus,
epicenter, etc.).
