Frequently Asked Questions

How many students does the Earthquake Towers Getting Started Package serve?

The package serves 30 students working in teams of two, providing enough balsa wood and materials for 15 tower builds.

What tools or supplies are needed?

Students may need foam boards, small clamps, and T-pins. All specialized equipment (Tremor Table, Timber Tester, Timber Cutter) is included in the package.

How does the Tremor Table work?

The EQs Tremor Table simulates seismic activity at adjustable intensities, allowing students to test their tower designs against progressively stronger tremors and iterate on structural improvements.

What engineering and science concepts do students explore?

Students investigate structural engineering, seismic forces, compression, tension, the engineering design process, and iterative prototyping as they design towers to resist earthquake forces.

Is a teacher’s guide available?

Yes. The Teacher’s Guide is available for purchase in print or as a free digital download, providing lesson plans and curriculum support for the earthquake towers program.
