Strength of shapes

Hi all,

Welcome back to the Spring semester and Foundation 1.

In the last experiments in Basic, you used straws and paper to make towers, bridges and for the male students, a firing device. Think about how yoy increased the strength of the paper as well as how the use of thread strengthened your straw bridges. Before your next experiment task, try to find out what a cantilever is, then think about how you would make one using straws.

Welcome to F1 Experiments

In Basic English, the worksheets for your experiment tasks were always handed out on the day. This semester, some of the instructions will be in this blog and you will need to check them before the lesson starts.
