engineering Day 1 o.O

Err..today we used candy and made all sorts of weird things with it. da candy were lifesavers n dots. we talked about tension and compression. we made bridges out of gumdrops and straws to show this. then we made a car using wheels as lifesavers.

engineering Day 1

heyloz ppl 2day we learned bout compression and tesion in which are used when building a brigde. yupz, we found that a key shape that is used 4 building is a triangle. cauz it has 3 sides in which hold da weight evenly. yea.. so i learned da key to a stronger structure is using [...]

engineers/scientists

today in class we made different challenges such as briges and cars. We learned the key to a strong structure which is a triangle.
It was a whole lot of fun working with my partner, Lisa!

Engineering Day 1

 Today we learned how to build bridges. The people who build bridges are called Engineers. To build a bridge it has to be well supported. We found out that the key to building a structure such as a bridge is to use a triangular shape. The triangular shape structure offers the most support and balance [...]

The STRONGEST Structure

The key to strong structure is triangle shaped parts. I made my structure with  lot of rectangles and triangles and toothpicks. Lots of toothpicks. Like maybe 500 or so.

Engineers!!!!Scientists!!!!!!!

Today we were engineers and scientists altogether. We built a whole lot of stuff and learned the key to a strong structure. Triangles are actually the strongest shapes when building something. We first built a structure that could hold up 3 blocks and we could only use a box of dots and tooth picks. Engineers [...]

Building stuf

Today we learend about how to build a car with life starves as wheels and i also learend that the car needed air today was fun and i enjoyed my self plus i made a bridge out of straws i had a little help from the instructers but [...]

Strength of objects~Matthew Chin

Today was an amazing day. I made a bridge, a thing and a car. The key to making a good structure is to make triangles. My structures were strong enough to hold wooden blocks and pennies. With a strong structure, they can hold many heavy objects. building is fun.
Matthew…MY STRUCTURES ARE BETTER THAN SOMEEEEE PEOPLE.

the key to a strong structure is making  is the triangle. for every experiment that we tried the triangle was the key to success.

Engineering Day One Pedro M. and Nick

Today in Hayden we started engineering.We did many experiments and the only solution was that a triangular shape is the key to a strong structure.  My partner and I did a structure made of dots and toothpicks to hold blocks. Another experiment was a bridge made of straws to hold blocks. We even did cars [...]
