Structural Engineering: Bridges & Skyscrapers - Classroom Bundle 10-Pack
Product Description This bundle includes (10) Structural Engineering: Bridges & Skyscrapers STEM Experiment kits; recommended for up to 30 students. Are you purchasing for a tax-exempt organization? Follow our instructions for Tax Exempt Purchases. Do you ever wonder how bridges span huge distances and how skyscrapers stay standing? Structural engineers use physics and their knowledge of the properties of building materials and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability. With this kit of modular building pieces, you can learn the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments. Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way. Start out with small models that demonstrate how structural elements can be attached together to maximize the strength of a structure for a fixed amount of material used. Learn about basic structural elements including columns,
