  9. Top DQs No Glue may extend beyond 3mm of any joint!

  10. Resources Available Curriculum | Online | Training Resources | Advisor Network

  11. MESA Curriculum https://mesa.ucop.edu/resources/ Password: MESA2020

  12. Tips & Tricks activities

  13. Dimension Restrictions create a dimension sheet • Top DQ • Rules list and provide visuals showing restrictions Stick Together Civil Structure

  14. Example The dimension sheet will allow the parameters to be visual. Students can then place their bridge on manilla folder to verify clearance for competition. Note instructions on sheet about bridge placement (e.g., lay bridge upright).

  15. Top DQs | Discussion & Activity/ Safety Middle School 50% Gluing • Materials • Popsicle sticks • Water soluble glue • Alligator clips • Marker • Objective: • Create three (3) variations using a minimum of four (4) craft sticks • At least one must pass the 50% rule I beam High School - Bridge Angles • Materials • Wood Sticks • T-pins • Printed protractor • Scissors, Pen, Ruler • Objective: • Create two small structures, one must be a triangle. (Goal is for structure to have angles)
