Kindergarten, Experiment in Civil Engineering Science Projects (1 result)
Experience civil engineering on a smaller scale-- what it is like to keep people safe as they live and work and travel from place to place. Design a structure and see how it stands up to testing. Use the geometry you learned in school to make your designs stronger. Test the strength of construction materials used or soils supporting buildings.

Skyscrapers are impressive structures. What does it take to design a building so tall? Engineers use strong materials and innovative design to push the limits of gravity. They use special tables to simulate earthquakes and test models of their buildings. In this project, you will build your own earthquake table and see how tall you can make a tower out of LEGO® bricks. You can even measure how hard your earthquake table shakes using the accelerometer of your smartphone and a sensor app.
