Description
- Basswood tower kit with integrated wood floor plates provides students in grades 6-12 a hands-on activity to design and build a model earthquake-proof tower that demonstrates the scientific concepts of earthquake engineering, structural forces, and geometry
- Tower kit includes grid paper and parts required for students to plan, draw, and build a tower design
- Lightweight basswood strips are cut and glued together with provided Pitsco Structures Glue
- Includes a handbook, Earthquake Engineering: EQs Project Book, for an introduction to earthquake engineering
- Reinforces science, engineering, technology, and math concepts as students design, build, and test a model tower for earthquake resistance
WARNING: Drilling, sawing, sanding, or machining wood products generates wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection.
