Learning about Christchurch

In an earthquake a house should be lightweight.We made our house out of thin card, a few layers of tissue paper, straws, cellotape, glue, oasis and flute board.We thought our house would stay intact with minimal damage because research shows that you can try to earthquake proof a house but it will never be 100% successful.

Our storyboard shows the earth and its layers, Pangea, where New Zealand sits on the plates, the ring of fire, Alpine fault line and Christchurch.
