This short video introduces liquefaction and its impact on buildings and other structures. Liquefaction is demonstrated using sand in a glass container and explains why it happens. The video contains images and short clips of liquefaction and introduces some ways engineers lessen the impact of earthquakes on buildings. The second half of the video includes instructions on how to make your own liquefaction demonstration and extend it into an inquiry activity.
