Build a hanging gate style seismograph.  Form an L with two sticks using four thin strips of fine silk treads glued in an x pattern --- x --- to form the hinge as you would in a model airplane tail hinge.  Glue a small mass weight using a washer or two at the end of the horizontal stick. Push the vertical stick in the ground. Mark the location under the stick and wait for an event.
