SCIENCE
YEAR 9 EARTHQUAKE PROOF BUILDINGS
As part of their study of the Earth, 9S1 were given the task of designing and constructing an earthquake proof structure using spaghetti pasta and blue tak. The class were given a budget for their materials and the structure had to be at least 60cm high and withstand shaking for at least 10 seconds.
The class threw themselves into the project and studied various designs from around the world that are currently being employed in earthquake prone countries such as New Zealand.
While many groups struggled to complete a building in the given time frame, one group was successful in design and construction. Well Done a fantastic accomplishment!
