Teach Engineering: Earthquakes Rock!

Curated by ACT

Students learn the two main methods to measure earthquakes, the Richter Scale and the Mercalli Scale. They make a model of a seismograph - a measuring device that records an earthquake on a seismogram. Students also investigate which structural designs are most likely to survive an earthquake.
