EARTHQUAKE!

Yesterday we completed a simulation lab to determine the effects of earthquakes on varying structures. Students worked in a group to create a structure that could withstand an "earthquake," using only toothpicks and marshmallows. 

Once the structures were complete, they were placed on trays of jello. The trays were shaken and students timed how long their structures stood standing in the earthquake. 

Construction Begins!

The Finished Structures

Oh, no... EARTHQUAKE!

Eating the Aftermath :)
