This is the age of technology we currently live in.
What is Information Age
100
This simple machine is a flat surface tilted at an angle, used as an aid for raising or lowering an object.
What is an incline plane
100
S.T.E.M is an acronym for what
Science, Technology, Engineering, Math
100
This is known as the distance between two supports of a bridge.
What is span
100
This is known as any material or object created by humans.
What is an artifact
200
Leonardo da Vinici was a famous inventor and engineer of this era.
What is the Renaissance
200
This is known as any influence that causes an object to undergo a certain change. This can be a change in movement, direction or even shape.
What is force
200
Work is measured by multiplying these two factors.
What is Force and Distance
200
Bridges are exposed to multiple forces to remain stable. They can be compressed "squeezed", put under tension "pulled apart" and exposed to this force which tries to twist the structure.
What is Torsion
200
This is the measure of force made easier by using a tool or machine.
What is mechanical advantage
300
A person with the ability to use information to find, select and use tools or materials to solve problems would be considered this.
What is being technologically literate
300
This simple machine uses a fulcrum to aid effort when lifting a load.
What is a lever
300
Records the stages in design.
Fast visual communication.
Useful to dimension a part.
Reducing errors in final drafts.
Helps organize thought.
These are all advantages of what?
What is sketching
300
On a suspension bridge, main cables between the towers and suspension cables that hold up the deck are under this type of force.
What is tension
300
Design inspired by nature.
What is biomimicry
400
During this period of time, people began moving from working on the farm to working in large cities. This increase in population came with the rise of manufacturing.
What is the Industrial Revolution
400
A wheelbarrow is an example of this class lever, since it has the load in the center with the fulcrum and effort on opposite ends.
What is a second class lever
400
Following the design cycle, after you have defined the problem (1st step), but before you identify criteria for the product (3rd step), this step should occur.
What is brainstorming
400
This type of bridge has a design that dissipates force into what is almost exclusively compression. There is little to no tension found in this structure.
What is an arch bridge
400
This is the ability to spread force out over a greater area. A necessary process for bridges to remain stable.
What is to dissipate or dissipation
500
After the bronze age, a new stronger and cheaper metal was discovered. This new metal was so popular it began a new era in technology known as this.
What is Iron Age
500
This simple machine is used to convert torque, a rotational force, into a linear force.
What is a screw
500
1.) Human knowledge. 2.) Use of tools, machines, and systems. 3.) Resulting in artifacts or other outputs. 4.) Developed by people to modify or control the environment. These four statements are know as this.
What is components of technology
500
When talking about a suspension bridge, these are the massive cement supports built into the ground at each end.
What is an anchorage, anchorages
500
This term is used to describe technology that is changing, causes change and improves on or from existing technologies.
