Earthquake Proof building

$15.00 – $1,000.00

In this module, students make sense of the design challenges engineers face that arise from earthquake phenomena. Students work as engineering teams to explore how engineers design and construct buildings to withstand earthquake damage by applying elements of the engineering design process by building their model structures. Students design, build, and test their model buildings and then determine how earthquake-proof their designs are by testing them on an earthquake simulator.

Disciplinary Core Idea:
ETS1: Engineering Design

Performance Expectation(s):
3-5-ETS1-1. Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
3-5-ETS1-2. Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
3-5-ETS1-3. Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
