- Demonstrate earthquake activity using two sheets of rough sandpaper, a wooden block and an elastic band. Cover the block with one piece of sandpaper, attach the elastic band to one end and place the block on the second piece of sandpaper. Pull the elastic band and observe what happens as the tension increases. Ask pupils to choose appropriate words to describe what happens. Discuss with them the adjectives which might describe the sensation of experiencing an actual earthquake.
