The theme of this project was really fascinating to my daughter. She liked that the shake table could create something resembling a San Francisco earthquake. It was also interesting for her to learn how the center of gravity of a building works in an earthquake.

My son had so much fun experimenting with this Tinker Crate. He loved designing new buildings that are more and more earthquake resistant. Overall it helped him learn so much about earthquakes.

This crate had great directions and plenty of interaction after the main project was completed. I liked the overall theme and the concepts behind the experiments.
