Science
- The student learned about earthquakes and their impact on buildings
- They gained an understanding of how different structures respond to seismic activity
- They learned about forces, stability, and structural design
- They learned about the importance of earthquake safety measures in building construction
For continued development, encourage the students to explore real-life examples of earthquake-resistant buildings and conduct further experiments using various materials to understand their stability during seismic events. They can also research earthquake safety protocols and design their own earthquake-resistant structures using everyday materials.
