On Shaky Ground
by Suzanne Lasich
This lesson will take 2 60 minute class periods.
Students will watch a video, read a book, and have class discussions about earthquakes. This lesson will walk students through the design process, while they build a "shake table" and then test their structure designs. They will see what design will be able to withstand 10 seconds of shaking.
