This is very similar to how columns are used to support buildings and other structures.<br /><br /></span></span></span><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The cylinder can support the most books because it’s walls don’t have any edges. The force of the books cannot become concentrated in a particular area. The load is distributed evenly. In other words, all parts of the cylinder are sharing the load of the books. All parts of the cylinder, therefore, contribute to it’s overall strength until, finally, it collapses.</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The square and triangle deform more easily. They shift the weight of the books to their edges and corners, which deforms their walls and leads to a quick collapse. They are unable to carry weight only at their edges. </span></span></span><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /><br /></span></span></span><br /><br /> gülhanım dursun2017-04-29T00:15:32Z"Structural Engineering "Palma García Hormigohttps://www.scientix.eu/sk/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=588349&messageId=6043002017-04-28T16:01:56Z2017-04-28T16:01:56ZFifth experiment with my kindergarden students <br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScienceTeachersEurope/permalink/1901165926763806/Palma García Hormigo2017-04-28T16:01:56ZHydraulic EngineeringPalma García Hormigohttps://www.scientix.eu/sk/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=588349&messageId=6039942017-04-27T20:23:28Z2017-04-27T20:23:28ZFourth experiment with my Kindergarden students <br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScienceTeachersEurope/permalink/1900790103468055/Palma García Hormigo2017-04-27T20:23:28ZRE: Aerospace EngineeringRobert Baldurssonhttps://www.scientix.eu/sk/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=588349&messageId=6032142017-04-27T12:01:21Z2017-04-27T12:01:21ZDear Palma, thank you so much for sharing your experiments based on the book with us! It is great you found it useful for your classes and that you have been able to organise experiments with your students directly based on the examples provided in the book.<br />This book is, of course, slightly different from the other titles in the book discussion as it is very practical. Do you plan to do more experiments from the book during STEM Discovery Week?<br />Keep sharing with us <img alt="emoticon" src="https://www.scientix.eu/o/scientix-theme/images/emoticons/happy.gif" >Robert Baldursson2017-04-27T12:01:21ZPetroleum EngineeringPalma García Hormigohttps://www.scientix.eu/sk/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=588349&messageId=6030822017-04-26T22:10:10Z2017-04-26T22:10:10ZThir experiment with my kindergarten students <br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScienceTeachersEurope/permalink/1900343240179408/Palma García Hormigo2017-04-26T22:10:10Z"Aeronautical Engineering"Palma García Hormigohttps://www.scientix.eu/sk/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=588349&messageId=6026192017-04-25T19:16:24Z2017-04-25T19:16:24ZSecond experiment of the week with my kindergarten children.<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScienceTeachersEurope/permalink/1899775013569564/Palma García Hormigo2017-04-25T19:16:24ZAerospace EngineeringPalma García Hormigohttps://www.scientix.eu/sk/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=588349&messageId=6024702017-04-25T13:09:38Z2017-04-25T13:08:26ZThis week we are going to do one experiment daily with my kindergarten students.<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScienceTeachersEurope/permalink/1899234530290279/Palma García Hormigo2017-04-25T13:08:26ZShare your classroom ideas hereRobert Baldurssonhttps://www.scientix.eu/sk/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=588349&messageId=6011542017-04-23T08:57:31Z2017-04-23T08:57:31ZUse this thread to share your classroom ideas inspired by Engineering for every kid: Easy activities that make learning science fun by <span style="font-size: 14px;">Janice VanCleave.
