Burr Intermediate School Engineering Program has asked the question - How is Technology a part of Engineering?

This blog is dedicated to all my friends at Burr Intermediate School (Grades 3-5) who are curious to learn about engineering.

So far they have explored:

• Paper Engineering - using paper clips & straws
  
• tested the strength of shapes....

 A virtual representation of strength utilizing the triangle, the most structurally sound shape in nature.  Found on: featurepics.com

Explored bridges and trusses

And on Friday, I hope to do a good job explaining the connection between Engineering and Technology

Stay tuned to find out what we will learn!
