Buchser's 6th grade AS-1 Seismograph Homepage
My AS-1 (Amateur Seismograph 1) is part of the Seismograph in Schools Program developed by IRIS. This machine is part of a network of schools and organizations that record and share real time seismic information in an effort to promote seismology in education.
