3rd Grade,
Stanley Clark, November 1998
I learned a lot
about earthquakes. I learned that people can put rubber under a building to
protect it. The El Centro was a devastating earthquake. I also liked learning
that it is hard to build an earthquake proof building.
I liked making
the building. I also liked testing them. I learned that they put rubber under
the building. Now I know how severe earthquakes can be. I'm happy he put a
magnet on the bottle.
When I grow up
I think want to be an architect. I learned to build, work in a team, to be
an architect, and to secure the building. Another thing I learned is how earthquakes
can do so much damage in about fifteen seconds! Those shock absorbers are
really cool! The buildings are fun to watch shake back and forth. The one
on the wheels I though it was going to lose. Thank you for coming.
I liked the earthquake
simulation. I think we should do it again sometime. I also liked it because
we all worked with our classmates.
I really learned
a lot. I learned how to build a perfect structure and learned where to put
the right beams. I learned just the right amount of windows and floor space,
and ours was one of the winning buildings. I learned a lot about how to build
the perfect building. I really like that competition. I thought the different
kinds of earthquakes. I learned that you have to have plans and keep on rebuilding
it. We rebuilt our building over five times before we found the winning structure.
Building beams and other safety materials was fun. I also learned about shock
absorbers and what you have to do to keep a building in shape.
I really like
the earthquake simulator; it was a blast watching the buildings go down. But
one thing I'm glad about, I wasn't in it when it was going down.
I thought the
earthquake simulator was really cool. My building was not the strongest, but
it didn't really matter. It was one of the coolest projects I've ever done.
Thank you so much for coming.
