What Is This Month's Theme For Groovy Lab in a Box?

Shake it Up

Shake It Up: Engineering Design Challenge - A Lesson in Earthquakes : You are a groovy earthquake engineer who has been contracted by the city of Los Angeles. Using only the materials from your Groovy Lab in a Box, can you design and build the tallest skyscraper that can withstand the next BIG quake? During your ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS, you will investigate what causes earthquakes while constructing a groovy seismograph and shake table. You will explore S and P waves, fault planes, famous earthquake-proof structures around the world, and much, much more!

Emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)

 

Experience extended learning through our exclusive online portal.

This box is for children ages 8 and up.

As always, the "Shake It Up" box will have a Groovy Lab Notebook where your kids can read about the investigations and Engineering Design Challenge. Plus, all subscribers get access to the Beyond...in a Box web portal for additional groovy learning and STEM fun.

Be sure to start your subscription today so you can receive "Shakeitup" before it ships on January 29.
