Strengthening and Reinforcing Structures (Years 3
Teach children about strengthening and reinforcing structures with this PowerPoint. It covers what structure means, and the materials and techniques used to help strengthen structures . The recap quiz at the end is a great way to test their knowledge.
Understand how structures are built from various materials and how techniques like triangulation and the use of trusses and beams can help strengthen them.
Lesson 3
Lesson 3 : Strengthening techniques Identifying and reinforcing weak points in a helmet shell.
Demonstrate how to use different ways of stiffening and strengthening their shell structures e.g. folding and shaping, corrugating, ribbing, laminating. Provide opportunities for the children to practise these and to carry out tests to find out where their structures might need to be strengthened or stiffened.
Stronger structures experiment
3 . Repeat the load testing. What difference does this reinforcing make? 4 . Add further reinforcement and test its effect. The engineering context This activity provides a glimpse into the world of engineering. Engineers need to understand how structural systems work, how they are tested, and how they can be reinforced.
Creating and reinforcing playground structures I can make different structures and explain how to make them stronger and more stable.
