Maddie-science-steel is great for both compression and tension. Because triangles are good at evenly distributing forces this is very strong

This is an arch bridge. The arch design can transfer tension and compression throughout its length to hold up the weight above it. Since the sides are rounded there are no breaks, and therefore, less weak points. The weakest point of an arch, is at the very top. The arch is made of brick, an excellent material for both compression and tension, making this bridge strong to withstand the weight on top of it. By Emily

Maddie- for science- arches are another example of a structural membrain. Bricks are good at handling compression- not tension

This arch is a structural member that not only distributes forces evenly, but it is made out of bricks, which are extta helpful in compression. Science.

Airport Goodbye!

We just met our bus driver, Bear. He introduced the fun bus and the goodbye song that we sing when ever leaving an attraction. Wahoo, Boston!

Science post from the boston airport.This cylander is a structural member. The designers of the airport used columns because they ballance weight well.

Maddie for science- a column is perfect for holding weight because it evenlly distributes the forces

This column is a structural member that effectively distributes the weight of the ceiling to prevent unbalanced tension and compression forces. Science.

...and it begins.

The airport was a bit crazy this morning but we managed to get us all through.  We just made it to Salt Lake City and had a very short layover.

Science: This circle represents a structural member, the strongest geometric shape for use in structures. The tension and compression from the weight it is holding above is distributed evenly around the circle with no breaks or weak points. By Emily

This is a structural member that evenly distributes the tension and compression of the ceiling. Science.
