First graders are hoping that their mortar mixtures withstand the force of the wrecking ball up to Angle 4, which is the highest angle.
Materials engineers play an important part in many fields of engineering. Many of the technologies that engineers develop must rely on materials that are specifically designed for a purpose. With that, some of the materials they focus on are natural and others are man-made. That means materials engineers are experts on materials, properties, mixtures, and fair tests! They design new materials to reach specific goals. Our focus in this unit will be on earth materials.
![]() With their mortar mixtures all dried, first graders began testing the strength of their walls using a wrecking ball. A wrecking ball is brought up to different angles, and with each increasing angle comes more force. Will their mortar mixtures last? First graders are hoping that their mortar mixtures withstand the force of the wrecking ball up to Angle 4, which is the highest angle. Comments are closed.
