MELC: Explain how earthquake waves provide information about the interior of the earth. (S8ES-IIc-17)
Content Standard: The learners demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between faults and
earthquakes.
Performance Standard: The learners should be able to:
1. participate in decision making on where to build structures based on knowledge of the location of active
faults in the community.,
2. make an emergency plan and prepare an emergency kit for use at home and in school.

E. Elaborate
Ask students, “How do the characteristics of seismic waves
change as they move from the Earth's crust to the inner
core?”
F. Evaluate
True or False: Write FACT for accurate statements and
BLUFF for incorrect ones.
1. The Earth's outermost layer, the crust, is composed
mainly of solid rock. (Fact)
2. Seismic waves can only travel through solid materials
and cannot pass through liquids or gases. (Bluff)
3. S-waves can travel through both solids and liquids, while
P-waves can only travel through solids. (Fact)
4. The fastest seismic waves are S-waves which can travel
through the Earth more rapidly than any other type of
seismic wave. (Bluff)
5. P-waves are compressional waves that cause particles to
move in the same direction as the wave is traveling.
(Fact)
G. Extend
Research and describe early beliefs or theories about the
causes of earthquakes before the discovery of seismic
waves.

Earth's interior. D. Explain
Affective The two main types of waves are body waves and surface
waves. Body waves can travel through the Earth's inner
layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface
of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes send out
seismic energy as both body and surface waves.

Activity: “"Slinky Shake: Modeling Seismic Waves"
Instructions:
1. Divide the students into small groups of 3-4 members.
2. Provide each group with a Slinky.
3. The teacher will demonstrate how to use the Slinky to
model P-waves and S-waves. Show how compressions
and rarefactions move through the coils for P-waves, and
how the side-to-side movement represents S-waves.
4. In their groups, students should take turns holding the
Slinky horizontally between two people. One student
initiates a P-wave motion by pushing and pulling the
Slinky back and forth. Another student initiates an S-
wave motion by creating a side-to-side movement.
Students will observe and discuss the different behaviors
of the waves.
Guide questions:
1. What did you observe about the motion of P-waves and S-
waves?
2. How might this activity relate to how seismic waves travel
through the Earth?”
D. Explain
E. Elaborate
What is the behavior of the P waves and S waves inside the
earth?
