Tuned Mass Damper

 During Geography the children watched a small clip showing how some countries use a tuned mass damper device to reduce mechanical vibrations in buildings, thus, giving people more time to get out of buildings during an earthquake. 

Once the children watched the film, they were given a challenge to make an building using a tuned mass damper to withstand 30 seconds of shaking/ vibrations. 

All of the children were engaged and worked well in their teams, well done year 6.
