Seismic Tower Challenge Winners in 7th grade
This fall, Mr. Lawrence's 7th Grade Science classes have been wrapping up their geology unit with an all-time favorite lab: the Seismic Tower Challenge! Throughout the lab, groups research the various methods and techniques modern day engineers use to make structures that are earthquake-resistant, and then design and build their own! Groups compete within their classes to see which structures can stay standing the longest, as the seismic waves gain magnitude with every passing round.
The newest 7th Grade champions have been crowned: Ryla H, Rose G, Stella E, and Maverick M! Congratulations and well done to all groups!
