Earthquakes and eggs???????

We studied what inventors have to do in order to get whatever they want to accomplish. For example our mission was to make a device that could make the egg not break from the second floor. The key in order make the egg not break is put coushions on the outside and the inside. We [...]

Today we did engineering. We had to make a house that can survive an earthquake. Chelsea, Michael, and I made the house together. Then we had to make something to protect an egg. I did this by myself. We droped them from the upper level to the street level. Today was alright. We throw ballons. [...]

Earthquakes

This week we made super houses that had to withstand an earthquake. My house was like a pyramid, at least that is what everyone thought. I actually got it from a famous class pyramid structure in paris, france. My structure worked because the shape i made it out of was a triangle
