Using those standards, I was able to better connect with my students and bring their prior life experiences and interests to…

Introduction: The bridge lab project was based on the given scenario in which a reliable bridge needed to be constructed over a river in order to alleviate traffic. The objective was to design a bridge to relieve traffic flow that was also safe, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing. The constraints for this project included the budget and minimum height and width requirements. The max budget to purchase wood was $200, the minimum height at all points of the bridge was 3 inches, the…

Have you ever wondered how to build a windmill? Or basically anything out of paper? Well, like William Kamkwamba did in the story, “A Young Tinkerer Builds a Windmill, Electrifying a Nation”, I will be demonstrating how to build a windmill, but out of paper.

The most important detail you’ll need for making a windmill is making sure that…

Much Cargo the Bridge can Hold Shivan Giroti Ms. Page Honors Life Science P6 10/2/15 Statement of Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to see how someone can use less materials to make safe bridges that work well. The controls are the material of the bridge, the model of the bridge, the cargo, and the surface. The manipulated variable is the distance between the support structures. Hypothesis If the support structures are each 1/4 away from each other then the bridge will hold…

Students must also follow directions and understand the prerequisite requirements associated with creating a truss bridge.

November 7th, 1940, the Tacoma Bridge collapsed into the Tacoma Narrows straight in Washington State. The bridge connected the town of Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula, and was one of the first major suspension bridges in the western United States. Unlike other suspension bridges constructed around this time, the Tacoma Bridge failed to withstand wind speeds over 40 miles per hour, due to unequal stress on parts of the bridge. The construction of a suspension bridge must include geometric shapes…
