Teach Engineering: Earthquake in the Classroom

Curated by ACT

Students will learn how engineers construct buildings to withstand damage from earthquakes by building their own structure with toothpicks and marshmallows. Students will test how earthquake-proof their buildings are by testing them on an earthquake, simulated in a pan of Jell-O.
