DFRobot BOSON Smart Science Pack - Earthquake

Explore the world of earthquakes with the BOSON Smart Science Pack - Earthquake Challenge. This innovative set allows you to learn about earthquake-resistant construction principles in a fun and interactive way. It combines a shake table with earthquake-safe structures made of simple materials and BOSON modules. Simulate seismic ground movements during an earthquake and observe the effects of different frequencies on buildings. The set includes a rotation sensor that allows you to change the motor speed to create movements at different frequencies. Discover how natural disasters operate on three axes and measure acceleration along the X-axis with a micro:bit to obtain precise results about the earthquake's magnitude. Experiment with different shapes, heights, and weights to find the most effective solution for earthquake-safe structures.

The BOSON Smart Science Pack - Earthquake Challenge requires additional materials that are not included:

1x micro:bit
1x Box & cardboard
16x drinking straws
18x pipe cleaners
7x bottle caps (6x normal size 1x larger)
4x rubber bands
1x thumbtack
3x AAA-batteries

Features:

Interactive learning experience: The kit allows users to practically understand the principles of earthquake safety by building and testing model buildings. This promotes a deeper understanding of complex scientific concepts in an engaging and interactive way.
Comprehensive simulation: With the shake table and BOSON modules, users can realistically simulate seismic ground movements. This feature assists in understanding the effects of different types of earthquakes on building structures.
Advanced customization options: Changing motor frequencies with the rotation sensor allows various earthquake scenarios to be replicated. This provides a comprehensive way to analyze the impact of earthquakes on building structures.
Precise data analysis: The integration of a micro:bit allows for the collection of precise data about the movements and forces during the earthquake. This feature is crucial for understanding the dynamics of earthquakes and developing effective earthquake-proof designs.
Versatile applications: The kit is suitable for both educational and hobbyists who have an interest in science and tech. It is an excellent tool for STEAM education as it integrates science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics into a hands-on project.
