Description
This unit was designed during COVID-19, where the Ministry of Education issued every student in Ontario to “Learn-at-home”.
The 5 lessons in this unit were designed to be interactive. There are four elements to each lesson - Engage, Explore, Explain, and Extend. Included in this bundle is a culminating activity, answers slides for each lesson, and Google Form Check-in for assessment purposes.
About this unit:
In this unit, students will explore how structures are built, what their form and function, forces that act upon them and influence its strength and stability. In addition, students will explore the impact of the structure on the environment.
Lesson Overview:
Lesson One - Classification of Structures
Just about everything you see is a structure: buildings, cars, trees, bicycles, your body, and so on. In this lesson, let’s explore how structures can be classified.
Lesson 2 - Forces that act on Structures
Structures are designed to withstand the forces that act on them. Some of those forces come from the outside of the structure, whereas, some come from within. In this lesson, let’s explore these forces.
Lesson 3 - Describing Forces
In this lesson, we will investigate the factors that determine the ability of a structure to support a load.
Lesson 4 - Designing for Safety
Structures are required to withstand several forces. In this lesson, we will investigate how structures are built to be safe.
Lesson 5 - Stability in Structures
Stability is the ability of a structure to maintain or resume its position when an external force has been applied to it. In this lesson, we will investigate how structures are designed for strength, stability, function, and form.
Build Your Own Bridge - A culminating task
In this activity, you will be designing and creating your own bridge and using all of the knowledge that you have gained to explain the forces that act on your structure.
