This is the week of our Earthquake Proof Building Challenge! Monday and Tuesday we will be discussing plate tectonics further and comparing the damage from two recent quakes (Haiti and Chile 2010). Wednesday and Thursday students will work in small groups to design/build/test/redesign an earthquake proof structure. Students will test how their structures hold up on a shake table and in a tilt test. On Friday, groups will pit their structures against each other to see whose design is the most earthquake proof!!!
No homework or quizzes this week!
