Description | Student teams assign importance factors called "desirability points" to the rock properties found in the previous activity in order to mathematically determine the overall best rocks for building caverns within. They compare rock properties to the desired engineering properties for designing and building caverns or other structures. Continuing the Asteroid Impact challenge, student teams assign importance factors called "desirability points" to the rock properties found in the previous activity in order to mathematically determine the overall best rocks for building caverns within. They learn the real-world connections and relationships between the rock properties and the desired engineering properties for designing and building caverns (or tunnels, mines, building foundations, etc.). |
