Now you are to investigate. You will plan your prototype by choosing one independent variable you will test from a list of common structural concerns in buildings found in seismic areas. Other students will be investigating different concerns and you will find the optimal design of your prototype using all of the class data. You may determine a different independent variable than listed below, with the approval of the teacher. Make sure to design a control structure and an experimental structure.
