Today in Geography 8P2 were planning, designing and making earthquake proof buildings.

The students have been studying our 'Hazardous World' Unit, looking at volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis amongst other geographical hazards. They had spent previous lessons learning about, and independently researching, the key characteristics of earthquake proof buildings.

With this knowledge they had to design and build an earthquake proof building made from spaghetti, some sticky tape and two pieces of A4 paper. The structure had to be able to hold 3 Crème Eggs and the tallest, strongest building would be named the winner.

The last one standing was made by Ava, Laura, Olivia, Ava and Amelia, for using their wonderful geographical knowledge and some initiative by making their main structure very strong but also adding some extra, non supportive spaghetti to make it the tallest as well!
