Product Guides
Structure Systems
PASCO’s Structure Systems offer a realistic, hands-on method for students to design and create life-like structures in the classroom. Perfect for design-based experimentation, these systems range in complexity from single trusses to dynamic kits. This page explains and compares all of our Structure System options and accessories for your convenience.
Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the Flat Structures Members.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Four Point Bending
In this lab, a Four-Point Bend Test is performed on ABS plastic beams from the PASCO Structures System and the Flexural Elastic Modulus for the material is calculated.
Tensile Testing Beams
In this lab, a Tensile Test is performed on plastic beams and Young's Modulus is measured. Students test beams with varying cross-sectional shapes to investigate the effect, if any, shape has on the outcome of the experiment.
Bend Testing Beams
In this lab, a Three-Point Bend Test is performed on the ABS plastic beams included with the PASCO Structures System. Then, the Flexural Elastic Modulus for the material is calculated.
