Ellwood School Visits NEES@UCSB Wednesday, 1 March 2006

The sixth graders from Ellwood Elementary School visited the UCSB campus and learned firsthand how scientists measure earthquakes. Using a Geotech Instruments Model S-13 seismometer housed in a see-through plexiglass case, the students were able to develop an understanding for how ground motions are measured by seismologists.
