  1. Unit 2 • Engineering Process & Structures • Module 3 • The Creative • Parent’s Toolbox

  2. Growth Mindset • Fixed Mindset • What you will learn

  3. Success and the Engineering Design Process

  4. By applying the • Engineering Design Process • you are building • persistence.

  5. Plan. Test. See what fails. Redesign.

  6. We use the Engineering Design Process in the kitchen!

  7. “We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. ” • - Lloyd Alexander, author of the Prydain Chronicles

  8. StructuralStrength

  9. Growth Mindset • Fixed Mindset • Bridges need to be STRONG!

  10. and • Compression

  11. Compression

  12. What happens • if you apply • too much force?

  13. Too much Tension • Snapping!

  14. Too much Compression • Buckling!

  15. So structures need to have... • balanced forces!

  16. Forces must be balanced so they don’t collapse • There are some special points in any structure which are critical to its strength. If these fail, the whole structure will fail. • Growth Mindset • Fixed Mindset

  17. Growth Mindset • Fixed Mindset • Center of Gravity

  18. Growth Mindset • Fixed Mindset • Center of Gravity

  19. Growth Mindset • Fixed Mindset • A larger base = Lower C.G = Greater Stability

  20. Before you start building, don’t forget about • earthquakes!

  21. Think about how your structure... • A civil engineer needs to ensure the tower can survive earthquakes • Growth Mindset • Fixed Mindset

  22. Congratulations! • You just finished the third module!

  23. Growth Mindset • Fixed Mindset • Let’s invent!
