Five downloadable articles on earthquakes are available from The American Museum of Natural History, including accounts by middle and high school students, a explanatory piece titled “Forecasting Earthquakes Using Paleoseismology,” and a profile of Inge Lehmann, the female Danish seismologist whose 1920s investigations led to greater understanding of the Earth’s inner core.

The AMNH’s Website for teachers provides articles, lesson plans, and other resources on the topics of anthropology, astronomy, biology, earth science, and paleontology.
