As a STEAM teacher to all 450 students in our school, I have a unique opportunity to provide all students in the school engaging, hands-on, and challenging science, math, and engineering projects. This allows students to put into practice what they are learning in class through real-world applications.
My students need earthquake shake tables and building supplies to complete a project - Shake - Don't Break. Students will use popsicle sticks, glue guns, and cardboard to design and construct the tallest Earthquake resistant building possible. Using the Shake tables, students will be able to test their structures, while noting areas that worked well and those that need improvement. Students will then make adjustments to their designs before testing them again.
