In the first unit of the course Urban Planning, we studied Newton’s three laws, vectors, Free-body diagrams, magnitude, law of sines, law of cosines, similar triangles, bridges, types of bridges, tension and compression and equations of motion (V2=at+V1, D=1/2at^2+v1t and 2ad=v2^2-v1^2). For our FE we went to the Chicago Architecture Foundation where we saw downtown Chicago's structure in a 3D model and we walked around to see bridges and observe how they were built, supported and what type of bridge they were. For our action project, we were put in partners and we built a 1 foot long bridge that will hold 10 pounds made of 50 popsicle sticks. During this project my partner and I had difficulty deciding what structure we wanted to build so that our bridge could be strong and look nice. I learned how calculations are important in your design and I am proud of our bridge.
