Towers

Explore local towers, taking notes and measurements and research to find out more. Find out how long towers would be if laid flat on the ground and make a leaflet to encourage visitors. Consider famous towers, what an earthquake is and how one might affect such towers. Access earthquake data and a video showing how earthquakes happen. Build the tallest model tower to withstand an ‘earthquake’ and test the model.
