Shake things up by engineering your very own shake table that can simulate an earthquake! Build a motor-powered platform, complete with a spinner to make it quiver and quake. Then use foam balls and toothpicks to design a structure sturdy enough to withstand your shake table's shimmying. Includes illustrated blueprint instructions, materials

A shake table can help engineers build earthquake-proof buildings. Buildings that are tall will shake more than buildings that are close to the ground. With this in mind, engineers can use what they learned from using a shake table to change designs to keep buildings from falling down and hurting people during an earthquake

The shake table can be used as a way to simulate the movements of the ground during an Earthquake. When the ground moves it can move between a small or a larger distance, which we call this the amplitude. It can also move this distance in various speeds. Toggle between button presses to change the different speeds and switch between low and
