Duck and cover! In this class, students become earthquake experts, studying the tectonic forces that trigger quakes and engineering structures to withstand them. We'll also learn how those same tectonic forces work slowly over millions of years to sculpt mountains, shift continents and shape the land we live on today. Topics include plate tectonics, earthquakes and geologic time scale.
Experience an adventure in science without leaving the classroom. These programs include a general introduction to a science topic and hands-on, interactive activities.
A minimum of 2 weeks' advance notice is required for all registration requests. If you have questions, please contact us at 503.797.4661 or register@omsi.edu.
