About this document
Teaching Truss Behavior with Mola Kit by Rodrigo Cutri is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes using a Mola Structural kit to teach students about truss behavior. The kit allows students to build truss structures, apply forces, and visualize tensile and compressive forces. Students used the kit in a physics lab class to (1) evaluate stability of square and triangle structures, (2) determine whether truss members experience tension or compression, and (3) solve exercises drawing free body diagrams and calculating member forces. A survey found that 74.4% of students better under
