Nov 24, 2009 Shake tables are a fun and engaging tool to use when teaching an earth science unit about earthquakes. Scientists use huge shake tables to simulate earthquake ground movement and predict earthquake damage to actual buildings. In this earthquake lesson plan activity, students will build structures and test them to see which structures are best ...

The shake table in this activity recreates the side-to-side or back-and-forth movement created by a P-wave during an earthquake. But a real seismic wave generates more powerful movement. The type of ground you stand on as seismic waves pass by also affects what you feel.

Build a shake table—a device engineers use to simulate the back-and-forth shaking of an earthquake. Design a building that’s stable and sturdy enough to survive an earthquake. Test your building on the shake table and see what happens! 2. Here are the materials to make the shake table. 2 pieces of sturdy cardboard (about 8½ x 11 in or A4)

Engineers test their earthquake-resistant designs using shake tables, special tables that simulate the effects of earthquakes on scaled models. Figure 1 shows two buildings on a shake table. The building on the left is attached directly to the ground, and the one on the right has a base isolation system.

So, after you’re done, and you've made this really awesome structure, made out of only marshmallows and toothpicks, we’re going to shake the table, and we’re going to make an earthquake. And you can be, like, “Earthquake.”
