Tsunami Simulation and Model Building

The video tutorial covers the process of modeling a tsunami wave, starting with daily tasks and note-taking. It explains the nature of tsunamis, their causes, and their impact on structures. The lesson includes building a physical model to simulate both wind-blown and earthquake-induced tsunamis. Students are tasked with creating a tsunami alert system and writing a proposal, requiring a deep understanding of the subject.

What is the first step in setting up your workspace for the lesson?

• Open the lesson brief

• Watch the tsunami simulation video

• Head over to the future workspace

• Start building the physical model

How can you ensure that a message remains open while taking notes?

• By closing all other messages

• By copying the message to a new document

• By pinning the message open

• By clicking on the 'Save' button

What is a tsunami primarily caused by?

• Volcanic eruptions

• A large ocean wave caused by a sudden shift in the seafloor

• Heavy rainfall

• Strong winds over the ocean

Why is it important to take notes while watching the simulation video?

• To ensure you understand the video content

• To prepare for a test

• To submit to the teacher

• To share with classmates

What are the two types of tsunamis you will model in the lesson?

• Wind-blown and earthquake-caused

• Volcanic and wind-blown

• Earthquake-caused and rainfall-induced

• Wind-blown and tidal

What materials are used to build the physical model of a tsunami?

• Sand, water, and a plastic container

• A paint tray, water, plastic houses, and a straw

• A large bowl, water, and toy boats

• A plastic sheet, water, and rocks

What is the significance of the paint tray in the physical model?

• It is used to measure water levels

• It simulates the slope and reservoir of a coastline

• It holds the plastic houses

• It represents the ocean floor

What is the purpose of revisiting articles and chapters in the tsunami dossier?

• To prepare for a quiz

• To create a tsunami alert system and write a proposal

• To build a new model

• To watch a new video

What is the main goal of the lesson's final task?

• To watch a simulation video

• To read additional articles

• To write a proposal for a tsunami alert system

• To complete a physical model

What should you do if you need more time to complete the tasks?

• Ask the teacher for help

• Watch the video again

• Revisit the articles after hours

• Skip the tasks
