Structures

UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURES AND MECHANISMS:

FORM AND FUNCTION

BIG IDEAS:

  • Structures have a purpose.
  • The form of a structure is dependent on its function.
  • The interaction between structures and forces is predictable

OVERALL EXPECTATIONS:

1. analyse personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that need to be considered in designing and building structures and devices

2. design and construct a variety of structures, and investigate the relationship between the design and function of these structures and the forces that act on them

3. demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between structural forms and the forces that act on and within them.
