STEM!!!
This is what STEM stands for.
What is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math?
This is the color (or colors) that is reflected back into your eyes when you see a red shirt.
What is The Color Red?
This is the distance between two piers in a bridge.
What is a Span?
This step in the Engineering Design Process is the step where we gather information, find out what the goal of the project is, find out what the parameters are, etc.
What is "Ask"?
This is when gravity pulls water down and forces it into pipes so that people can have water inside of their homes.
What is Water Pressure?
These people are engineers.
Who are people who solve problems and make people's lives better by inventing and improving technology?
This type of wave moves back and forth.
What is a Compressional Wave (Longitudinal Wave)?
This type of bridge uses beams to create triangle shapes in order to support the weight from the roadbed, since triangles are the strongest geometric shape.
What is a Truss Bridge?
The step in the Engineering Design Process where the technology is built.
What is "Create"?
This device was used in ancient Rome to keep track of time during court so that no one talked for too long.
What is a Water Clock?
This is Technology.
What is something that is man-made and makes life easier?
This is when light bends due to a medium.
What is Refraction?
This is found at the bottom of an arch bridge and is in charge of pushing up to help the arch maintain its shape.
What is an abutment?
The step in the Engineering Design Process where the technology is either fixed or made better to be even more efficient.
What is "Improve"?
This word has to do with echoes and the way that sound waves bounce off smooth surfaces.
What is Reverberation?
This is the main purpose of STEM.
What is Solving Problems?
This type of wave moves up and down.
What is a Transverse Wave?
These are the cables at the end of the Suspension Bridge that hold the towers in place.
What is an Anchor Cable?
The step in the Engineering Design Process where the "blue prints" are drawn up so that everyone in the group can be on the same page.
What is "Plan?"
What is It Speeds Up?
This is technology.
What is anything that is man-made and makes life easier?
These solids, liquids, and gases can move to carry sound waves.
What is a medium?
This type of bridge combines a truss patterns, an arch, and suspension cables in the middle to create a very powerful kind of bridge.
What is a Through-Arch Bridge?
The step in the Engineering Design Process where the group brainstorms, and tries to find either the best idea, or tries to combine different ideas to make a "super-idea."
What is "Imagine"?
The real reason why pirates wore eye patches.
What is so that one eye wouldn't get used to the bright light of being in the sun all day so that they can still see below deck if they need to?
