Students at Killian this week made shapes to test the strength and stability properties. We started with squares and triangles, but students wanted to test their predictions about stability patterns on other shapes. Here you see students with pentagons.
We used the website below to explore forces and materials involved in architectural design and building construction. www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/lab/shapes.html They also began to experiment with the strength of arches in construction, pictures and information to come next week.
