Did you know that there is approximately 500,000 earthquakes each year worldwide?

Year 5/6 have been learning about earthquakes and the importance of earthquake proof buildings in countries that lie on the boundary of a techtonic plate. We created a model using blocks and lego to model the difference between buildings that have been designed to withstand earthquakes and buildings that aren’t! Students enjoyed creating ‘earthquakes’ through shaking the table to simulate the quake!
