Earthquake StructureTester Kelvin Have students design and build a tower, bridge or house from balsa wood. Then attach it to the Earthquake Machine and turn the earthquake on. Vary the speed using the variable speed power supply (sold separately) and see how long it takes before the structure begins to fall apart. Includes 1,000g weight which can be attached to the struc- ture to give it more destruction mass.
