Making earthquake model,
in this course teaches students how to design and build a 3D model that demonstrates how earthquakes occur and affect the Earth's surface. Through this hands-on project, learners explore the causes of earthquakes, such as tectonic plate movements and fault lines. The course guides students in using simple materials like cardboard, rubber bands, springs, and motors to simulate seismic waves and ground vibrations. It also explains key scientific concepts like epicenter, focus, and Richter scale. By constructing a realistic working model, students can visualize how energy is released during an earthquake and how buildings respond to tremors. This course encourages creativity, critical thinking, and environmental awareness, making it ideal for science fairs or classroom demonstrations. It combines engineering, physics, and geology in an engaging, educational way. howtofunda
