Bangladesh Building Challenge


At this point you are working on

STEP 1 - Initiating and Planning and STEP 2 - Investigate 


For STEP 1 - Complete the Initiating and Planning section on the back of the Bangladesh Building Challenge worksheet. You will need to describe the situation and identify the problem that needs to be solved. A diagram is recommended.

For STEP 2 - You will have started working on this step in the computer lab this week. You are to brainstorm 4 different tower crane jib designs. Each design should be sketched in the space provide on the "Investigate" worksheet you received in class.

You should use 2 different colours to identify where the internal forces of tension and compression are in action on your sketch.

BOTH OF THESE SHEETS ARE TO BE COMPLETED FOR YOUR NEXT SCIENCE CLASS!
