FLIPPED CLASSROOM VIDEO: The Future of Earthquake-Proof Buildings BEFORE WATCHING 10 Look back at Module 6, Unit 1 and try to report orally what you already know about earthquakes and earthquake engineering. WHILE WATCHING 11 Watch the video, pause it when necessary, look up any new words in your dictionary, then answer the following questions. Are earthquakes easily predictable? What is used in skyscrapers to protect them from earthquakes? Are shorter buildings protected in the same way? How is an airport in Turkey isolated? How does the vibrating barrier system work? What kind of building is the system good for? Why? What other approaches are used to protect buildings from earthquakes? Give examples. What are “architectures”? What inspired engineers to use “architectures”? What are earthquake invisibility cloaks? How do earthquake invisibility cloaks work? Are the latest technologies all ready for the real world? AFTER WATCHING 12 Watch the video again and draw a mind map, then report what you have learnt to your classmates.
