Skill:
Explain what can be done to reduce earthquake hazards to buildings and to people.

Assessment:
-Yesterday, the students started building a structure using mini-marshmallows and toothpicks. The structure had to be 25 cm high and withstand the "shaker" table (cardboard box with marbles and cardboard) for 10 seconds to receive an A. Students finished the project today although some of the projects over night did not sustain the room conditions and fell. The shaker table test was given to the structures and two of the structures did very well and are still standing.
-Gave tests back. Students who made below an 80 need to get the tests signed by parents.

HW: None
