Day 2: Test
Instructions (Part I): Using your drawing as a guide, construct your earthquake-proof building. In preparation for testing, carefully remove one side of the cardboard box your materials arrived in to use as your base. Your building must be freestanding.
Instructions (Part II): Test how earthquake-proof your building is using the method shown above. Keep your motions constant so you can compare different trials accurately. During each “quake” make a note of your structure’s strengths and weakness for future adjustment.
Instructions (Part III): Review the strengths and weaknesses from your tests. Make any necessary revisions you like and test how earthquake-proof your new revision is using the same method from before. Record a video of your best trial
Instructions (Part IV): Review the strengths and weaknesses from your tests. Make any necessary revisions you like and test how earthquake-proof your new revision is using the same method from before. Record a video of your best trial and and share it below.
