There’s a Whole Lotta Shaking Going On!!

5th Graders are learning how Earth has cracks, or faults, in its crust where rocks on either side of the crack have slid past each other. This releases a HUGE amount of energy and can cause EARTHQUAKES!! The students were asked to build a SAFE shelter using these shake tables.  Some worked well, but them it was time to INCREASE the MAGNITUDE!!
