Strength of Shapes
Testing the Strength of an Egg Shell Eggs break easily when you hit them against a hard surface. But it’s difficult to break an egg just by squeezing it length-wise in your hands. This is because of the dome shape of the eggshell. The force applied by your hand spreads over the eggshell. The diagram […]

Testing the Strength of a Thigh Bone Model
The long bone in your leg, called your thigh bone, is shaped much like the bone in a chicken’s leg. Both have a hollow, cylinder-like shape, which means they are shaped like a tall soup can.This shape makes the leg bone lighter than it would be if it were solid throughout. Discover For Yourself The […]
Engineering Investigations for Kids
Engineering, is a discipline that many considered very difficult. The truth is that it is one of the most applicable studies. Engineering is the application of science, mathematics, and experience to produce a thing or a process that is useful. Engineering is neither more nor less important than science, just different. The basic objective of […]
Fluorescent Highlighters
Fluorescent highlighters are extra bright in sunlight, but not so different than other highlighters under a desk lamp. This is because two bundles of light energy is being sent to your eyes and both are for the same color. This makes the color more intense–louder–brighter–super-bright. Let’s consider a yellow fluorescent highlighter. One source of light […]
