ANSWER SHEET
Learning Task 1: Using the given organizer, write the necessary information to
complete the concept about seismic waves. Do this in your answer sheet.
Learning Task 2: Prepare a basin with half-filled water and stone. Drop a
stone
into the basin and observe what will happen. Write your answers in your
answer sheet.
1. What happens when you drop the stone?_____________________________________

2. What causes the ripples to form?______________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
3. How far does the ripple continue?____________________________________________
The vibrations are more properly called seismic waves. As seismic waves
travel through the body of the Earth, they behave in different ways, depending
on what they encounter a long way.
Learning Task 3: Use a slinky wave in this activity and answer the given
questions.
_________________________________________________________________________________
(Note: You may use unused notebook metal spring as alternative if slinky wave is
not available at home)
1. Prepare a slinky and a masking tape.
2. Mark a spot on their slinky near the center with masking tape at the top of
the loop.
3. Ask someone from your family to hold each end of the slinky. Stretch out the
slinky along a table.
4. Take turn in compressing 15 coils and then releasing them rapidly while they
hold the end of the slinky, making sure to observe the energy wave travel the
length of the slinky.
Guide Questions:
1.Describe your observations of the coil and tape.____________________________

____________________________________________________________________________
2.What kind of seismic wave does this slinky motion represent?______________

________________________________________________________________________
Learning Task 4: Read the instructions found on the next page. Answer the
questions. Write your answers in your answer sheet..
 Material: 12-inch flexible plastic ruler
Procedure:
1. Hold the ruler horizontally at both ends. Bend
the ruler.
Q1: Do you feel the ends of the ruler pushing

against your hands?_________________________________________________________
2. Now release the ruler.

_________________________________________________________________________________
Q2: What will happen to the ruler as you

release it?_________________________________________________________________
3. Now, hold one end of the ruler firmly with your right hand and bend the ruler
again with your left hand.
Q3: What was stored as you bent the ruler using your left hand?___________________________
4. While keeping a tight grip with your right hand, take away your left hand
quickly.
Q4: What will happen to the ruler as you take away your left hand
quickly?_________________________________________________________________________
Learning Task 5: Create a wave box that demonstrates how earthquake waves can
travel through a variety of materials as they travel away from the focus of an earthquake
where the rocks first rupture.
All earthquakes produce P waves and S waves. P waves travel through solids, liquids and
gases. In this simple science experiment, you will see how P waves travel through different
solids causing paper clips on a string to vibrate.
Materials:
Box, String, Paper clips, Nail or ice pick
Procedures:
1. Remove one side of a cardboard box.
2. Punch a hole in the top and bottom of the box
using a nail or ice pick.
3. Tie a string so it runs from the top of
the box to the bottom of the box.
4. Start by tying a string to a paper clip on
the outside of the box at the top.
5. Thread the string through the bottom of the box
and tie the string to a paper clip on the bottom of the box.
6. Place 4 or 5 paper clips on the string inside the box.
7. Place the box on a table or some other object you can strike to make it vibrate.
8. Strike the table hard enough to cause energy waves to travel through it to the box.
_________________________________________________________________________________
9. Move your box to another surface and see if you can make the paper clips vibrate on
these surfaces.
10. Change the experiment by using a different thickness of string.
11. Change the experiment by using different sizes of paper clips.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. What will happen to the paper clips if you have struck the table hard enough. ____
_____________________________________________________________________________________
2. Why does vibrations create sound?______________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Reminder!!!! Answer all the Questions in every Learning Tasks.. Study well.
