Mrs. Brewer's Science Workshop and Fundamentals students have been acting as engineering interns to create a better tsunami warning system for countries in the Indian Ocean region.
This week, students developed models to compare surface waves and tsunamis, then modeled different types of plate boundaries as part of their research to better understand these geologic processes.
