Seismic Wave Destruction
Students will learn about the four types of seismic waves during an earthquake. Students will then use that information to design a house that can absorb a majority of the seismic waves, limiting the destruction caused to their house. Students will then test their houses on an earthquake simulator board, make alterations, and then reflect on their successes and failures.

This is the 3rd lesson in the series. In this lesson, students will select one building from their master-planned community to construct a 3D model that absorbs/releases 8% less than the surrounding
This lesson is Part 2 of an engineering challenge. In Cooling Structure Challenge Part 2 students will use what they learned when they designed, built, and tested their prototype in Part 1. Often we
This lesson will explore the idea of circuits as the students wire the components of a together to create a working wobble-bot.
