Science Test – Monday, May 14
I need to know:
· An arch shaped pillar will support more mass that a square shaped pillar because the mass isn’t concentrated in the corners but is spread more evenly on the arched pillar
· What makes a fair test? Changing only one variable at a time
· Four smaller pillars in each corner is stronger and supports more mass that one large pillar (weight is distributed more evenly)
· Cylinder shaped pillars are stronger than rectangular or triangular pillars
· Cardstock and Bristol board were the stronger papers we tested, stronger than construction paper, printer paper, and loose leaf
· Stability of containers – as a container gets taller, the base need to be wider
· Triangle shapes used in design help a building to stand strong (more triangular shapes, the stronger the design)
· Different materials can be used in building and some materials are better than others (stronger, withstand weather conditions)
