Welcome Assignment Feb. 27 & 28, Take out your planner – Period 1, 2, 3 = Earthquake Safe House Lab Report due March 6 Period 4, 5, 6 = Earthquake Safe House Lab Report due March 7 2. Estimate your House Budget – At the end of building, how much is your house worth? Complete your budget on a separate sheet of paper (see instruction sheet for guidelines) Make sure your name(s) is on the paper Turn in your budget to the homework tray 3. After you turn in your budget pick up the gallery walk sheet do a gallery walk of the houses – do not touch the houses, be very careful walking by them.

 Research Questions – What structural characteristics help a building withstand earthquakes?  IF –  Cause Blocks – identify a structural or design characteristic  THEN –  Center Block - (The event or test that we will run)  Effect Blocks – The house will remain standing  BECAUSE –  Last Column of Blocks – Your scientific reason Earthquake Shaken House Clip

 Title  Research Question = Multi-Flow-Flow Map  Background Information = What science information would someone need to know to build a successful Earthquake Safe House?  Hypothesis = Multi-Flow-Flow Map  Materials = Budget items  Procedure = Procedural Flow Map  Data/Observations = Class Data Chart  Data/Analysis = Flowce Map  Conclusion = Flowce Map Use these documents to write your formal lab report

 Categorize the questions to organize your Data/Analysis, and Conclusion  What was your goal?  How did your design address your goal?  What did you learn through testing?  How would you take the information that you learned through testing and use it to improve your house?  What features of your house design and related science concepts did you use to make your house successful (structural shapes, gravity, etc.)?  What errors may have occurred in data collection?  How could you minimize the errors (make the testing more precise)?  Why is it important that your house be diagramed to scale?  Why is your test important to the real world? And how would testing like this be used in the real world.  Evaluate and describe the relationships among society, science, and technology and how one impacts the other Flowce Map
