Beam Designs

'Do all beam designs support the same mass?'
We built a box girder, rectangular beam and an accordion beam.  Students have made a hypothesis in their science notebook and given a reason and are now ready to add the mass to the beam.  Ask your student which beam they think will hold the most mass.

I introduced fractions today and everyone built their own fraction kit by cutting and folding paper into equal parts and naming them.  It went really well.  Have your student help you in the kitchen tonight and measure 1/2 or 1/4 or 1/8 for you!

Fun lunch tomorrow -
