Bremen Universum
At the universum, there were a lot of cool science related interactive exhibits. One of the cool things I did was participate in an earthquake simulator. I have learned a lot about earthquakes from planet earth and my geology class, but I have never experience what one was supposed to feel like. I read a little bit about earthquakes and volcanos outside the simulator while we were waiting. When we got inside the other students and I sat down in the mock living room. We pressed a button and the room started shaking. It wad really cool to experience this because I never have before. Also, the earthquakes were what specific ones through history felt like, like the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

I also happened to participate in the earthquake simulator. It was definitely a new experience to feel what earthquakes are like when they occur. I also like that there were buttons to press to simulate a historical earthquake.
I also thought that the earthquake simulator was cool. It’s also eye opening because living in WI we don’t really think about experiencing anything like that. So getting to roughly experience one was interesting and kinda scary thinking about being in one.
I also found the earthquake simulation to be pretty eye opening. Being from an area where tornados are more common than earthquakes, we learn more about tornados and less about earthquakes. It was cool to see they had references/simulations to 3 different earthquakes. They all felt pretty rough during the simulation so I couldn’t imagine how scary they actually were in real life. I wonder how they decided which earthquakes to use and also how to vary the simulation between the 3 events.
Oh that’s so neat! I didn’t get to that exhibit, so it’s really cool to read about it! I’ve never lived outside the Midwest, so I’ve never had to deal with the possibility of earthquakes. Honestly, the idea of living in the coasts is pretty scary, as there is the potential for natural disasters such as this.
