Exercise
This assignment consists of 2 parts:
1) Have students view the powerpoint and answer the questions on the notes
page.
2) Have students visit the "Make a Quake" website and have them construct
different building structures on different ground types. Make sure they read
the evaluations at the end of each simulation and have them compare and contrast
what happens to their building during the same magnitude of earthquake
simulated.
