In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

In this geology and engineering activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners build an earthquake simulator, then use it to test various building designs, exploring different materials, shapes, and design op
