| Description | Students use their knowledge of tornadoes and damage. They work in groups to design structures that can withstand and protect people from tornadoes. Each group creates a poster with the name of its engineering firm and a picture of its structure, which they present to the rest of the class. Students apply their knowledge of tornadoes and resulting damage as they work in groups to design structures intended to withstand and protect people from extremely high winds. Each team creates a poster with the name of its engineering firm and a drawing of its structure. Then, each group presents its posters to the class, explaining its tornado-resisting design features. Two support handouts are provided. |
