Earthquake Towers

Students will be taught about earthquakes and areas prone to earthquakes.

We will challenge students to build a tower that will withstand an earthquake. When the towers are complete, we will attach them to a shake table to determine if their tower could survive an earthquake.

All of the materials needed for this project will be provided. And all of the work will be done in class.
