18. Munden Park P.S. November 28 th, 2011 Science & Technology G3 Structures & Mechanisms - Stability Science & Technology Structures: Any systems that resists vertical and horizontal loads, and include large items such as: skyscrapers Bridges Towers Dams As well as small items such as bookshelves, chairs and windows.

19. Munden Park P.S. November 28 th, 2011 Science & Technology G3 Structures & Mechanisms - Stability Science & Technology Stability: Stability deals directly with forces that act on a structure and how they push or pull that structure. Example: There are some factors that affect structures: Materials : Example Loads : Example Shapes : Example http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/lab/forces.html

20. Munden Park P.S. November 28 th, 2011 Science & Technology G3 Structures & Mechanisms - Stability Science & Technology Group Activity: In small groups build a tower, as high as possible, using straws and masking tape. Use a weight (beans) to see if the tower will withstand the weight and not fall over.
