Promethean Flipchart Library for Algebra: Tsunamis
In 1998 a devastating tsunami was triggered by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of New Guinea. The amount of energy from this earthquake was equivalent to a thermonuclear explosion. Students analyze the energy outputs for different magnitude earthquakes. Using the Graphing tools, students explore the use of a logarithmic scale to better analyze exponential data.
Key concepts: logarithmic functions, logarithmic scale
Each Flipchart includes:
- Nearly 20 minutes of video content
- Teaching notes
- Overview of key math concepts
- Hands-on, technology-based activities that use the TI-Nspire graphing calculator or the Geogebra software.
Format: Promethean Flipchart. Requires Active Inspire software.
