With the investigations in this e-book, students use the Go Direct® Structures & Materials Tester to investigate materials and structures.
Topics Include:
• Beams: Investigate the relationship between dimensions and flexibility.
• Trusses: Explore why trusses fail and how to compensate for weaknesses.
• Bridges: Use the engineering design process to build and test bridges.
This e-book is free with the purchase of the Go Direct® Structures & Materials Tester.
Some of the investigations in this e-book use our free Go Direct® Bridge Competition Software.
