Building A Shake Table
How to Make a Shake Table for Earthquake Studies
The next part of our Earth Science unit was earthquakes. Today's post I'll explain how we made our shake table, but before I do that I want to talk a minute about of some of the activities we did leading up to that. We used a lot of the activities from Engineering Adventures. The kids' first activity was building towers. Their first project …
