1 Student Activity Lesson Plan Subject/Strand/Topic: Science Structural Strength and Stability Grade(s) / Course(s): 7 Ontario Expectations: 7s85, 7s86, 7s87, 7s90, 7s102 Key Concepts: forces (compression, tension, bending, shear, torsion), loads (weight, soil, temp., wind, vibration, earthquake), materials (wood, plastic, aluminum, brick, concrete, iron, steel), shapes(rectangles, arches, triangles) Link: Required Materials: Pre-Assessment/Answer Key, Student Activity Handout, Student Activity Answer Key, Post- Assessment/Answer Key Before Starting: This activity works best during a double-period. Introduction (10 min including pre-assessment) 1. Ask students the following questions: Q: Predict what would happen if a building was built on soft soil. (It would sink into the soil and become unstable) Q: Predict what would happen if wood was used to build a large building in an area where it continually rained and snowed? (the wood would rot and weaken) 2. Introduce the learning object (this online activity will investigate factors involved in building structures) 3. Distribute the pre-assessment quiz and allow 5 min to complete; collect 4. Ensure students are in front of their computers prior to moving on Explanation of Activity Sheet (5 min) 1. Students should be placed in partners for this activity. 2. Distribute Activity sheet to each student 3. Provide direction on the organization and structure of the Activity sheet as needed 4. Inform students they will only by using the four headings at the top of the learning object and down the side of the screen and should not be using any other links on the page Use of Learning Object with Activity Sheet (45 minutes) 1. Teacher should circulate throughout the activity and ensure students are on task 2. Provide students with the following verbal time cues throughout the activity: Forces section 10 min Loads section 15 min Materials section 10 min Shapes section 10 min Consolidation Questions and Post-Assessment (10 minutes) Q: What are some important considerations when deciding what material to use for a building? (the environment it will be in, what it will be used for, how much material is needed (cost), etc.) Q: What kind of external factors must be considered in building structures? (Soil, temperature, natural events in the area, temperatures, safety, etc.) Q: Why is it important to plan the structure down to smallest details and make/test models prior to building? (you can only build once as repairs could be costly and involve loss of human life by testing, you know how strong you need to make things to withstand the elements, you also know if your structure will be stable and strong) 1. Distribute post-assessment quiz and allow 5 min to complete; collect 2. Activity sheet can be taken up as a class or collected and marked Teacher-Created Resources: Student Activity Lesson Plan Page 1 of 1

9 Student Activity Handout Answer Key MATERIALS [9 marks] 1. Why is it important to take into account the direction of the fibers when building with wood? [1 mark] The direction of the fibers is important because it is 3x easier to break wood if it is stretched across the direction of the fibers rather than in the direction of the fibers. 2. Why are circus tents made from plastic? [2 marks] Circus tents are made from plastic because the tents are pulled in many directions and cannot snap the long chains of molecules that make up plastic can be pulled in many directions without snapping. 3. Aluminum is a building material that when combined with magnesium and copper (both metals) is almost as strong as steel. What do we call materials that are a combination of metals? [1 mark] Alloy 4. Why is brick not used in building modern structures (excluding houses)? [1 mark] Brick is very heavy and breaks easily (weak in tension) 5. What is the difference between concrete and reinforced concrete? [1 mark] Reinforced concrete has steel beams through it whereas concrete does not. 6. Which force is significantly improved by using reinforced concrete versus concrete? [1 mark] Tension 7. Cast iron can be molded to any shape but is not used as a modern day building material, why? [1 mark] Cast iron is brittle and snaps without warning. 8. Which material is stronger than any other in both compression and tension? [1 mark] Steel SHAPES [6 marks] 1. Compare the structural strength of the three shapes by using the slider on the right side to add and remove weight.
