This resource includes a hands-on earthquake engineering lab that helps students explore how building design affects stability during shaking. Students build and test square and triangle towers using simple materials, then observe which structure stands up better during a model earthquake. Through this investigation, students learn an important engineering concept: the shape of a structure affects its strength and stability. Comparing squares and triangles helps students see why triangular su
This resource helps students understand how tectonic plates shape Earth’s surface and how the ancient supercontinent Pangaea eventually split into the continents we see today. Students learn how Earth’s crust is divided into large moving plates and how their movement can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains. The activity also introduces the Ring of Fire, a region around the Pacific Ocean where many tectonic plates meet and where most of the world’s earthquakes and volcanoes occur.
