Class 3 Earthquake Resistant Structures

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: Class 3 Year: 2021 - 2022

As part of our IPC topic 'Different Places, Similar Lives' children have researched Tokyo. We discovered that Japan experiences frequent earthquakes. 

Children found that Japanese structures often contain a 'shinbashira' - a large peice of wood which the rest of the building uses for support. 

Class 3 have created and then tested structures using this idea.
