Use the links here to demonstrate earthquake locations! I think it makes it much more 'real' for students! Great source!

Great use of technology to teach students about earthquakes. This is geared for California students, but can be adjusted to any classroom. I would add tags for 5th and 6th grade science (as suggested in the activity).
