1 Unit D: Structures & Force Topic 1.1 – Classifying Structures  Key Terms  Structure  Force  Stability  Strength  Types of Structures  Solid  Frame  Shell

2 Need to Know Terms  Structure  Any object that provides support  Can be made of one or many parts, may be large or small  A chair, a tree, a statue, a car, a rock, a bone….  Force  A push or pull that can cause and object to change its movement or shape  Structural Strength  The ability of a structure to support both its own weight plus any additional weight applied to it  Structural Stability  The ability of a structure to maintain its position even when it is being acted on by forces  To keep balanced and not get knocked over

3 The Three Types of Structures 1. Solid Structure  A structure made of a solid piece, or a solid combination of pieces, of strong material 2. Shell Structure  A structure with a solid outer surface and a hollow inner area 3. Frame Structure  A structure consisting of a rigid (firm) arrangement of parts joined together

4 Solid structures have little or no space inside and are usually the strongest of the three types

5 The strength of frame structures comes from the way its parts are assembled

6 Shell structures are stronger than frame structures and lighter than solid structures, which is why they are used for protection
