Improvement Phase:

Your town has suffered an awful earthquake, and some buildings have been destroyed, including yours! Use what you learned from how your building did in the earthquake to improve and rebuild your building. You only get $5 extra! You will need to use your old supplies too.

Draw and label your design in your science notebook. Click "Edit Background" then the square with little mountains.

Describe how your design will be able to resist the FORCES of the earthquake. Use complete sentences!

Engineers must go through city officials in order to build. Go to your teacher to get approval on your design. When you have the teachers approval on your design, select TRUE!

After building, did you change your design? If so, draw your new design and insert a picture here.

Describe how your new design is different.

How tall was your final building in cm?

Calculate your score by adding the height of your building, the number of seconds it stood, and the voltage.height+seconds+voltage=?

What were some strengths of your building? Use complete sentences!

What were some weaknesses of your building? Use complete sentences!

Write three strengths and three weaknesses from a group.

12. What ideas might you try to implement in your own building design from this group?

What are two things you changed about your design?

Draw and label your new model.

WHY do you think your new design will be better? Use complete sentences!

How tall was your final building?

How long did your building stand, and at which voltage?

Did your building do better this time? Why or why not?

Reflect on your overall experience building the house. What challenges did you face that engineers also have to face?

How would this project be different if you had to build a life-size building out of materials like metal, wood, or brick? What would you do differently?

Give your group members a score from 1-10 on how well they participated.Partner 1 name and score:
