Earthquake Proof

WALT: Ako day


Tuakana-Teina


Yesterday , Room 8 and Room 3 (our buddie class) were making an earthquake proof house.
To test our house we used a app called Accelerometer.


Firstly, before we started making we were all put into groups of three. In my group was myself ,
Dane and Tashan. For our house we planned what we are going to use.
During our planning we had to use a tablet (Ipad).


For our house we used blocks ,pens , cotton buds and pipe cleaners.
First we made the house out of cardboard boxes.
Next we used cotton balls and and blocks to stop it from moving to the sides.
However the house could go up or down so we used pipe cleaners to make it stick to the ground.


Finally we finished our house and put it to the test.
We put the phone on top of the house and shaked the house.
The lower the number the more earthquake proof this is.
Hear is our results.
