This Princeton Earth Physics Project (PEPP) Educational Resources site contains classroom materials using PEPP software programs. These materials include classroom projects, activity ideas, and research ideas. The resources introduce the PEPP software and focus on basic concepts in seismology, data collection, analysis, prediction, calculations, plate tectonics, estimating the magnitude of historical earthquakes, Earth noise, and physics concepts. PEPP was established as a way to build a network of seismic recording stations in high schools across the US and to enrich secondary school science education. The goal of PEPP is to create fruitful links between research universities, colleges, and secondary education. It seeks to engage students in the acquisition of seismological data, to help teachers bring the reality of science into the classroom, and to motivate and enable scientists to spread knowledge and activities beyond the boundaries of their departments.
