Involved in this program is Dr. Natalie Balfour from the Australian National University and a teacher named Geoff McNamara .
According to McNamara , the new look when an earthquake measuring device is a little confused . However , they were so excited when told that the device can capture vibrations from very distant locations . Especially when the students were asked to make ' earthquake ' own bounding .
" They did it , and suddenly there was a sign on the seismograms . And they also acutely aware that this tool can record earthquakes , " he says .
Not many quake felt in Australia . This is why wearing professional tools for recording earthquakes in distant places , said Balfour .
"In addition , this network can complement other national and regional networks that monitor earthquakes , and can help to more research , " he said .
Balfour and his colleagues have already put 40 seismometers in schools across Australia , including at Melrose High School in Australia's capital , Canberra . Here also , McNamara running science program called ACE Science .
ACE Science also seeks to connect students with professional scientists . " We make scientists and students work together in a program called ACE Science Mentors , obviously McNamara .
Last year , they were running 21 projects . " Two of the project report is being prepared for publication . Simply superb , as written by the students in grade 9 and 10 , " he said .
One of the students who try seismometers in schools Melrose High School named Charlotte Anderson .
" I'm trying to figure out how many earthquakes occurred in the Canberra region . I guess that time will not be too much , but it turns out a lot . Using the software I was given by my supervisor and triangulation to locate the epicenter , " he says .
" I think this is good because we can deepen our knowledge of the technology and the equipment . Learning becomes much easier and fun . "
