Pitsco’s Packaging Design activity gets students into the box. Simple boxes are investigated, designed, and constructed using card-stock material. Ideal depth for maximum volume is found.
|
Create an egg-drop vehicle that rolls down a ramp into a wall and protects the egg from breaking. Determine the average velocity of your car and each car tested by the class.
|
|
Pitsco’s Egg-Drop Vehicles activity is an exploration into the realm of inventive processes. A vehicle for safely delivering an egg from a designated height, usually 8' to 12', is designed, constructed, and tested for effectiveness.
|
Pitsco’s Straw Structures activity provides ultimate flexibility in simple structure design and modeling. Using only pipe cleaners and straws, students construct polyhedra, domes, bridges, and structures straight from their imaginations. Abstract concepts regarding shapes and structures become . . .
|
|
Create a tessellation on card stock. After the tessellation is finished, use the Boxmaker to create a box with lid.
|
Pitsco’s Earthquake Towers activity involves the design and construction of an earthquake-resistant tower. The tower is constructed of 1/8" x 1/8" balsa wood strips.
|
|
Towers aren’t the only thing that can be tested using the Pitsco EQ s Tremor Table . Design an earthquake-resistant road and test it on the tremor table.
|
Designing a building is a dream of many people. Students design and engineer a model building for both form and function.
|
|
Cantilevered structures such as cranes, bridges, and others are everywhere. In this competition, students engineer a cantilevered structure designed to hold the greatest amount of mass before breaking!
|
|
This competition is everything it's cracked up to be! Students love the challenge of designing and building a vehicle that safely carries an egg from a vertical drop of 10 feet – or more!
