7th Grade - Universal Systems Model

This year we will discussing the Universal Systems Model and how it affects technology and production. We will also explore design concepts and problem solving. Students will also research, design, build, and test their own scale model bridges of real life concepts (like in the following video) to learn about structures, the design process, and quality control testing. Also , students will be learning about transportation through hands on activities that cover the topics of drag, lift, resistance, momentum, Newton's Laws, and how transportation affects our everyday lives.

More information on bridges can found by watching the following Presentation.
