Virtual Earthquake - Lori Cirucci says this is a very good website that she uses with her students. Students print a certificate at the end. She says that she has most of her classes go through the site after she reviews the first page on "what is an earthquake" with the students. She also provided the worksheet that goes with the website.

Other Activities that she uses can be found on these links. Students can save the page as a pdf and use text boxes to place their answers.
