Technological Problem Solving Scientists and engineers don’t just stop when they fail. They figure out the problem and think of ways to solve it.
They then try out their ideas, and if they fail again they try something else.
This is technological problem solving!
How could you improve your bridge?

Solid Structures A solid structure is an object that uses solid construction to
support loads.
![Page 10: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Frame Structures A frame structure is a network of parts that supports a load.
![Page 11: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Shell Structures A shell structure is a hollow structure with a curved shape
providing high strength and rigidity.
![Page 12: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Build an example of each of the 3 types of structures…solid, shell, frame. Be creative!!
![Page 13: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Forces The push or pull on an object.
![Page 14: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Forces have magnitude and direction.. Magnitude= size or strength of a force Direction= left, right, up, or down
**Forces are represented by arrows in diagrams. A thicker arrow means the force is greater.

Air
Activity 1: Air Takes Up Space
1. Fill a ziploc bag with air by opening it and pulling it through the air.
2. Quickly close and seal the bag. 3. Look at the bag of air. Poke the bag; push down
on the bag (gently); and open the bag and smell the air. Record your observations in your notebook.
![Page 16: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Air
Activity 2: Air Has Pressure
1. Place the metre stick on your desk so that it extends 20 cm over the edge of the desk.
2. Place a sheet of newspaper on top of the metre stick on the desk.
3. Smooth out the newspaper, removing as much air as possible between the table and the newspaper.
4. Quickly push down on the end of the metre stick. What happens?
![Page 17: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Air Activity 3: Air Has Mass
1. Blow up two balloons, so that they are about the same size. 2. Tie a piece of string to each of the balloons. 3. Stick a piece of masking tape on the side of one of the balloons. 4. Tie one balloon to each end of a metre stick (10 cm from each
end). 5. Tie a piece of string to the centre of the metre stick. Move the
string until the metre stick is balanced. Carefully tape the string to the metre stick so it won’t move. Secure the metre stick to a desk so it stays balanced.
6. Pop the balloon with the tape on it, using a pin. Observe what happens?

All about air!Air is a combination of gases, mainly oxygen (20%), and nitrogen (78%).
Air is colourless and odourless. Air is all around us. Air takes up space.Air has mass. Air has pressure.

different parts.

Build a Bridge Create a bridge that spans at least 15 cm, using the
materials provided. Materials
50 popsicle sticks 20 toothpicks Glue gun and 2 sticks of glue
Once your bridge is built, you will draw a force from the bucket to test the strength of your bridge. Roll dice to see what force will act on your bridge. So yes, your bridge needs to be able to withstand all forces!

Quiz Based on grade level.
![Page 26: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Stability Structures need to be stable and balanced when forces act
on them.
Structures will be more stable if… 1. They have a low centre of gravity. 2. They have wide base support.
![Page 27: Structures Physics Grade 6/7. What is the coolest structure you can think of?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b00e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Centre of Gravity The point at which an object’s mass is equally balanced in all
directions.
Try This: 1. Balance a metre stick using 1 finger. 2. Now try using 1 hand. 3. Now try with both hands. What do you notice during this activity?

Symmetry An exact reflection on opposite sides of a line, dividing an
object in half.
Symmetry is important for the aesthetics of a structure (ie. how visually appealing it is).
