Shake Things Up: Engineering Earthquake-Resistant Buildings Virtual Learning Edition

In this unit, kids will engineer model buildings that are earthquake resistant. They’ll also develop building codes that help others build earthquake-resistant structures.

The On-the-Go Kit includes everything one student needs to complete the challenge and practice thinking like an engineer.

Components

The Virtual Learning Edition provides the instruction and support teachers need to make the engineering adventure engaging and motivating for students. The unit’s three-part structure makes virtual teaching and learning flexible and easy to navigate.

1. Instructional planning: Get ready to teach
2. Launch the Unit: Explore virtual learning best practices, set expectations, introduce the unit, prepare materials and explore the unit
3. Adventure: Complete exciting engineering adventures with virtual challenges that are enhanced with hands-on learning by students with individual On-the-Go Materials Kits

Individual On-the-Go Materials Kits make learning hands-on and fun for students, even when learning in a virtual learning environment. The On-the-Go Kit includes everything one student needs to complete the challenge and practice thinking like an engineer.
