How Do You Build A Strong & Stable Structure Project For School?
A common project for physics or engineering high school classes is the construction of a strong and stable structure. Often, the project requires students to build a structure as light as possible or using as few materials as possible that can also hold a heavy load without collapsing. While different projects will allow different materials to be used for construction of the structure, the same basic principles can be applied to any structure to make it strong and stable. Using the properties of geometry, you can build a strong and stable structure for your school project. Purchase balsa wood beams that are 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch. Balsa wood has the lowest weight to strength ratio, which means it can be used to build a strong structure with relatively few materials and little weight. Make an equilateral triangle out of balsa wood beams to construct the base of the structure. Make 60-degree angle cuts at each end of the balsa wood beams. This will form the correct angles for an equilatera
