As earthquake explorers, students will investigate why and where earthquakes occur, be challenged to engineer earthquake-proof buildings, and examine the treacherous island ‘Terra Felix’ for liveability. Students will be able to see live data from our in-house seismometer and see if they can break the Richter scale.
