Lesson Plan

Strut Your Stuff

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students begin the lesson plan by identifying what a polygon is and hypothesizing how many struts (diagonals) it would take to make a polygon rigid. They watch a "Magic School Bus" episode then experiment with various shapes to make a structure rigid. The students then test their hypothesis of how many struts it takes to make their structure rigid.
