To conclude their earth science unit, Mr. Maloney's Gr4 students had to construct earthquake resistant towers. The students were assigned tower widths of either 2, 3, 4, or 5 inches. The student engineers used modeling clay and coffee stirrers to construct their tower. Students then put the towers on our Earthquake Shake table and the students recorded which width stood up the best. The students will then take their new found knowledge to STEAM and improve their towers even more.
