Grade 7Crash Test Electric Motors Towers

Students investigate the stresses that act on a tower and what an engineer must consider before designing one. Activities help students discover what design factors most affect the stability of a tower. Each group designs and constructs a free standing tower that is tested for structural integrity through an earthquake simulator and for centre of gravity performance.
