Site Title: Shapes that make structures strong
Link: Click here
Summary: In this activity, students study the various shapes engineers choose to make structures strong -- in particular, triangles, arches, and domes. They begin by experiencing firsthand the forces of tension and compression. Then they construct a variety of forms, test their strength, and discuss how tension and compression are distributed by triangles, arches, and domes. The multimedia resources used throughout the lesson show many applications of these shapes used in ancient and modern cultures. Students also discuss examples of these shapes that they have seen in their own experiences.

Site Title: The Great Race
Link: Click here
Summary: The story of Tortisha and Harry is presented to the class: Harry is so sure that he can run faster than Tortisha, that he will give her a 2 mile head start in a race. Harry runs at the rate of 3/4 mile in 6 minutes and Tortisha runs at the rate of 1/2 mile in 5 minutes. Will Harry ever catch Tortisha? Students first map the progress of Tortisha and Harry using the Dream Track worksheet. Finding this to be quite tedious and confusing, they make a chart to examine patterns and then graph Harry’s and Tortisha’s progress. Finally, students analyze the problem to arrive at algebraic representations for both Harry’s and Tortisha’s rates. This information is entered into the graphing calculator which generates both a chart and graph of the situation. So, the question still remains, “ Who will win the race?” Students discover that either Tortisha or Harry could win the race, or it could be a draw. It all depends on the length of the race.
