CONSTRUCTIONS

CONSTRUCTIONS

1. Variables affecting structures

   • Decomposition
   • Students analyze main characteristics of constructions.

2. Similar structures

   • Pattern recognition
   • Students will analyze how components in a construction define its resistance.

3. Structure design process

   • Algorithmic thinking
   • Students combines building materials (cartoon paper, cardboard, sticks, glue) to build a structure

4. Formulas application to calculate data

   • Algorithmic thinking
   • Students will analyze how components in a construction define its resistance.

5. Structure design graphical process

   • Abstraction
   • Students participate in a competition to see how much weight supports their construction.
