Yesterday, I had my science students make their own versions of seismographs as part of our plate tectonics unit. They used a variety of classroom junk and their imaginations. This group was first done, and after 2 pictures my camera battery went dead. Nacho shakes the table while David and Maireny graph the shaking.
Napa High has a real seismograph worth about $12,000. My students had a blast jumping on the floor creating massive earthquakes. Our fabulous science department won a grant for the seismograph, which is linked to a network of seismographs around the world.

Very cool!!! I love seeing the stuff you do with your students.
The Tomales Bay pictures were beautiful, too. That telephoto is awesome! Looking forward to your Napa marsh night photos!
