PBL Earthquake Project
Our Project
For our Earthquake project, this project was about building a two story house for Tony stark in California that will undamaged his house. Our driving question was, "How can we as structural engineers construct a two-story house in California for Tony Stark that will withstand seismic Activity?" For this project, I worked with Brinda, Taylor, and Fatima.
Our design
Our design for Tony Starks house was that we first put Popsicle sticks in each corner. We put Popsicle sticks on each corner because the clay would get hardened and the Popsicle stick would be stuck down with it.Before we started building Tony Starks house, we had to flatten out the clay first. We used the straws and Popsicle sticks for the first floor. For our second design, we used popsicle sticks shaping an "X" and we also used clay to stick the popsicle stick in the middle with a string tied around it.
Main Points
Our main points of using this project was
that we were able to work together and finish this project by cooperating and we also got to use our knowledge to build a house for Tony Stark.
that we were able to work together and finish this project by cooperating and we also got to use our knowledge to build a house for Tony Stark.
(For our shake table test, We did not pass but we put a lot of effort and hard work in it. We also used the crossing brace for the second floor but, it did not hold.This was the picture after the shake table test]

Paragraph #2 30 Hands Project
What I learned during this project was that I was able to learn about Climate change, The Greenhouse Effect, Global Warming, and gases in the atmosphere. What I enjoyed most about this project was that I was able to make fun Pic Collages and I had fun with learning becasue of that. I felt good about this project becasue I was able to learn more from it.
Invention Convention
For our Invention Convention, my partner and I made and Invention that would solve our Environmental Problem. Our problem was that there were gasses in the atmosphere that contributed to the Greenhouse Effect and we needed to fix that problem by making a waterfall wheel that would turn the turbine to the generator, and create electricity. I felt good and excited about this project because we were able to build something from our creativity.
