Add to ORKGThis activity is designed to help students gain experience with the thought process involved in constructing an earthquake-proof building. Students use index cards to construct a building that can remain standing as heavy books are dropped nearby. They may also opt to create a building that can sustain strong winds. It must remain standing when it is placed 10 feet from an electric fan that is blowing at low speed. Educational levels: High school, Middle school
