Hands-on examples are the most effective, and most fun, way for kids to learn. Earthquake Simulator comes loaded with everything needed to build a variety of structures, and then test them against quakes of varying types, magnitudes, and durations. The variable-lock girder system will give young engineers the materials to build, and the dual-motion quake table provides the challenge of realistic quakes. This simulator also comes with a seismic science book, so kids can further their understanding of earthquakes and how to stand up to them. Appropriate for ages: 7+
