WebQuest
Understanding Structural Forces
Teacher Page
Focus:
This Webquest focuses on West Virginia State Objectives dealing with Forces and Loads. The link provided below provides the objectives that I used for this webquest.
Objectives/Goals:I would recommend starting this project after you have introduced some basic information dealing with Forces and Loads. You do not have to go into detail because that would defeat the process of exploration. I would also familiarize myself with the various links that are being utilized by this webquest, because the possibility that the sites that I found could be moved or even deleted. (Please note that I did not include a quiz - That is part of the reason you need to familarize yourself with material so you can develop a quiz that you believe will assess your own students.)

Forces and Loads ObjectivesStudents will:
| 2424.7.1 | Differentiate between the forces that act on structures (tension, compression, shear, and torsion), and determine which forces are present in various structural elements. |
| 2424.7.2 | Differentiate between static, continuous dynamic, and impact dynamic loads, and give examples of each. |
| 2424.7.3 | Calculate load stress in a structure and give the answer in load per square inch or load per square foot. |
Resources:
Prerequisite Skills: Comfort level with the internet
Time Required: 3 days recommended
Day one is mainly designated to research and exploration, day two is the quiz and afterwards students can begin brainstorming for the card activity and even begin building their structure, and day three is finish building the card structures, then test them.
