Hundreds of millions of people live in places around the world where earthquakes are common. Can you design a structure that’s stable and sturdy enough to survive an earthquake’s vibrations? Then test your structure on a shake table, a device engineers use to simulate the shaking of an earthquake. (Activity comes with facilitator instructions and two signs. Ideal for both small groups and large-scale community events.)
