Raleigh Hills K8, Science hasn't added a story.
Hello! My name is Kirk Koehler and I teach 7th and 8th grade science at Raleigh Hills K8 school in Beaverton, OR.
Living in a seismically active zone, earthquake preparation is something students need to know. Building and making things are also high priorities for students. Working with their hands to make something builds skills for the engineering and construction careers. Students will measure, cut, and connect wood to form buildings that will be tested using the shake machines they have put together to help us solve and understand problems related to earthquakes in our seismically active region. They will be designing, building and using engineering, science, and math in real life.
I'm asking for funds so we can buy orbital sanders that we will attach to milk crates with plywood surface and bungee cords to make earthquake shaking machines. These shakers will be used to test buildings designed by students and built out of balsa wood and glue during an engineering and design unit.
Budget for each earthquake machine in dollar amount.
- Sander $30
- Bungee cords $8
- Pipe $30
- Milk Crate $15
- Slider switch $17
- Plywood $12
- Gang box $3
- Various hardware $5
Total: $120 each
