[IRIS] Earth Science Week (October 8th-14th)

[IRIS]

Annually, the IRIS Consortium supports Earth Science Week (ESW) by  
providing materials for inclusion in the ESW kit and contributing  
classroom activities for the ESW calendar; both distributed by the  
American Geological Institute.  In alignment with this year’s theme,  
“Be a Citizen Scientist,” the IRIS Consortium has contributed:
      •	a new one-pager to help citizens explore if the Earth shook  
near where they live ( http://www.iris.edu/edu/onepagers.htm#REV ), and
      •	a classroom activity to allow citizens to investigate how  
often earthquakes of various magnitudes happen within a geographic  
region of their choice (March 2007 @ http://www.earthsciweek.org/ 
calendar/index.html ).

If you are participating in ESW activities at your institution, we  
would like to recommend trying the activity with either students or  
teachers, and disseminating the new one-pager at your event.  Hard  
copies of this one-pager can be requested by emailing  
EandOproduct at iris.edu
