Give students the opportunity to explore structural stability with the Manual Earthquake Simulation Shake Table Kit. This tactile, hands-on STEM resource allows learners to build their own earthquake simulators using dowels, chipboards, rubber bands, and engineering tubes. Perfect for introducing concepts in physics and geoscience, the kit supports inquiry-based learning through design, construction, and iterative testing.
Educational Benefits:
- Reinforces knowledge of structural engineering and force dynamics.
- Develops design thinking and problem-solving through model testing.
- Encourages hands-on, collaborative learning and prototyping.
- Links earth science with engineering and technology concepts.
Classroom Ideas:
- Task students with building structures and testing quake resilience.
- Conduct trials with different base widths and bracing strategies.
- Use the kit to simulate historical earthquakes and investigate building codes.
- Host in-class challenges to compare stability under manual shaking.
Product Specifications:
- Includes: 50 dowels, 50 chipboards, 4 sets of engineering tubes, rubber bands, 100 screws.
- Also includes 5 screwdrivers and 2 rolls of masking tape.
- Supports up to 20 simulator builds per class.
- Ideal for primary and secondary STEM and science classrooms.
