Applications of mathematics and physics for the construction of a stress bridge in high school

Through the knowledge acquired by students in mathematics and physics classes with regard to the contents of plane geometry, spatial geometry, force and moment, a proposal was given to build a truss bridge with barbecue sticks in which the system should support a load many times greater than its own weight. Students, even in high school, should research the balance, efforts and construction conditions for a truss system based on literature from the basic disciplines of architecture and engineering courses. The students who developed the project and presented it at a math fair at a local university are part of an applied physics research group. This group is made up of three-year high school students.
