Hi Nan;
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to connect to Tsunami but when I did connect it became very enlightening. Very easy to understand and very basic.
Love, Dad
After watching the Brainpop video I was wondering what would happen to submarines if they were in the path of the fast-traveling waves under the surface? kjj
ReplyDelete@ Dad - I think because it is a video that it takes a few seconds to load. The information is perfect for elementary kids - not too little, not too much.
ReplyDelete@ Karen - my students wondered the same exact thing! In one of the videos I viewed it said that boats way out in the ocean don't notice the tsunami - but I don't know if that is true for submarines. I'll check on that.
Thanks for commenting!
Great blog, Nancy - lots of good, and fun, info!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I'm sure there are many children that are frightened. This is a great way for them to learn. Knowledge can help them feel more in control. I am passing it along to all I know that have young ones. Thanks again, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about how this disaster sparks questions - and answers. I immediately wanted to know more about Japan - to see a map of where it hit,etc. Nice job of putting all of the links together. Not just for kids - adults too!
ReplyDeleteLorry,
ReplyDeleteI had fun exploring the Japan site too and think kids would find it especially interesting. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThis is so fitting. We are all worried and scared for our Japanese neighbors. One thing we can do is learn more about what is going on there.
Great collection of resources to learn about tsunamis. I even learned to spell it from the lobster video--very informative, yet interesting. Thanks again for a wonderful collection, and for sharing your genius with the world!
Sincerely,
Denise
Thanks for sharing these great resources! Building understanding of the catastrophe can help allay the fears, and makes us all feel we're connecting with those involved in the tragedy.
ReplyDelete2011 Japan earthquake actually was above 9.0 magnitude. Great post and article. I really found that Japan is interesting nation since the earthquake struck that nation. The tragedy during earthquake can not be stopped until now. Unfortunately, there was still no compromising ways to prevent anything from being injured from earthquakes. Best way is to live on the save places out of the faults line. I found out about earthquakes pages about fault lines.
